A pension application must be received by the Pensions and Benefits office to begin a pension and should be submitted at least two months before your chosen retirement date.

Every pension application will be confirmed by email, using the email provided on the application, from peipspp@gov.pe.ca within five business days of the Pensions and Benefits office receiving your application. If you do not receive a confirmation email, contact the office at (902) 368-4200. The application may not have been received by the Pensions and Benefits office which could result in a loss of benefits. Pension benefits are only payable to the 1st of the month in which the application is received by the office, if received after the month of termination.
