The Public Service Superannuation Plan has reciprocal transfer agreements with the pension plans of certain other public authorities. If you had service with one of these public authorities, you may be able to transfer your pensionable service from that plan to the PSSP.
In addition to the agreements below, there is also an agreement between the Public Service Superannuation Plan and the Teachers' Pension Plan. Please contact us for more information.
