Understand your retirement options, including the normal retirement age under the OPSEU Pension Plan (the Plan), how to bridge to an unreduced pension, and how grow‑in benefits may apply if your employment ends involuntarily.
Retiring
The normal retirement age under the Plan is 65, but you may be able to retire earlier depending on your eligibility. See how factors like turning 65, cost‑of‑living increases, and working after retirement can affect your pension.
Bridging to an unreduced pension
If you receive a layoff notice before reaching your earliest unreduced retirement date, you may qualify to continue to earn pension service until you’re eligible to retire with an unreduced pension.
Grow-in benefits and your pension
If your employment ends involuntarily, grow-in benefits may help you qualify for an unreduced pension in the future.
