FAQs
How do I know if I’m getting the right amount from my pension?
Many people don’t realize their pension calculations can be affected by service breaks, buyback options, or misapplied formulas. We analyze pension entitlements and calculations to ensure accuracy and identify options to maximize your benefits.
I worked for the Canadian federal government—can you help with my public service pension?
Yes. We advise on federal public service pension issues under the Public Service Superannuation Act (PSSA). Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act (RCMPSA), Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act (MPRAA) and other related legislation. This includes buybacks, retirement eligibility, service credit, and appeal processes for denied or reduced benefits.
What can I do if my pension application was denied or the amount is lower than expected?
We review your file, explain the legal basis for the decision, and identify any appeal rights you may have. We can help correct errors in service records, advocate during internal reviews, or escalate the matter through formal appeals if needed.
