At the pension 84 00:04:44,496 --> 00:04:45,080 center, 85 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:45,480 86 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,975 we do not speak net, however on the My CAF pension tool, you can 87 00:04:49,975 --> 00:04:54,055 estimate your net pension, include all the deductions that 88 00:04:54,055 --> 00:04:58,136 you wish to continue and you will have an estimate of your 89 00:04:58,136 --> 00:05:02,355 net pension, which is the best tool, the best way for you to 90 00:05:02,355 --> 00:05:03,599 plan your release. 91 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,880 If you're releasing under the Reserve pension plan, the 92 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,440 formula will be different. 93 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,532 The same 2% will apply which includes your lifetime plus your 94 00:05:15,532 --> 00:05:19,409 bridge times your updated pensionable earnings for your 95 00:05:19,409 --> 00:05:20,240 full career. 96 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,759 So basically we will use all the earnings you made while a 97 00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:28,987 reservist, pensionable earnings where you were contributing to 98 00:05:28,987 --> 00:05:32,880 your pension, and we will update them to today's reality. 99 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,320 We call this the the wage measure. 100 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,226 This way your old salaries reflect a little bit a higher 101 00:05:39,226 --> 00:05:41,240 income based on today's reality. 102 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,790 2 scenarios, two corporals releasing at the same time, both 103 00:05:47,790 --> 00:05:49,720 with 20 years of service. 104 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,000 The first scenario has two days per week of work. 105 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,320 The second scenario has three days per week of work. 106 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,160 Obviously you can see that the earnings are higher. 107 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,360 That means you're contributing more to your pension. 108 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,040 This means that you will get a higher pension. 109 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,459 However, Please note that as soon as a Reservist rolls over 110 00:06:09,459 --> 00:06:13,613 into the Regular Force Pension Plan, we will be using the Reg 111 00:06:13,613 --> 00:06:16,360 Force formula and not the Reserve Force. 112 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,129 Keep in mind that the best way to review your pension is use 113 00:06:22,129 --> 00:06:23,880 the My CAF Pension tool. 114 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,329 This way you have the best estimate of your income and you 115 00:06:27,329 --> 00:06:29,200 can better plan your retirement. 116 00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:34,659 The Bridge Benefit, As I mentioned earlier, the bridge is 117 00:06:34,659 --> 00:06:38,585 a portion that is paid temporarily to bridge you to 118 00:06:38,585 --> 00:06:43,343 offset you until age 65 or the bridge could stop before age 65 119 00:06:43,343 --> 00:06:48,175 only if you are collecting your CPP Canada Pension Plan or your 120 00:06:48,175 --> 00:06:51,800 QPP Quebec Pension Plan for disability reasons. 121 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,240 How does the coordination work? 122 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,927 So let's say someone releases and they're collecting their 123 00:06:58,927 --> 00:06:59,960 retirement pension. 124 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,081 They're getting their full 2%, which includes their lifetime 125 00:07:04,081 --> 00:07:05,120 plus their bridge. 126 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,915 The bridge is there to be paid to you from the day you start 127 00:07:09,915 --> 00:07:12,280 collecting your pension up to age 65. 128 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,215 This way you maintain a decent income until 65, once you start 129 00:07:18,215 --> 00:07:21,960 collecting your regular CPP or your regular QPP. 130 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,888 However, it doesn't mean that your bridge will necessarily be 131 00:07:27,888 --> 00:07:32,257 equal to your CPP/QPP because there are two different pension 132 00:07:32,257 --> 00:07:32,680 plans. 133 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,680 Each of them will pay you based on their contributions. 134 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,831 If you consider someone who never worked before the Canadian 135 00:07:41,831 --> 00:07:45,627 Armed Forces, who always contributed to their pension the 136 00:07:45,627 --> 00:07:49,684 same years that they contribute to their CPP/QPP, both bridge 137 00:07:49,684 --> 00:07:52,040 and CPP/QPP should be fairly close. 138 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,960 This is what we call the perfect coordination. 139 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,472 The best way to plan that coordination is to access the My 140 00:08:01,472 --> 00:08:04,640 CAF pension to see your bridge amount. 141 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,338 This way you'll know in advance how much bridge will cease at 142 00:08:08,338 --> 00:08:08,720 age 65. 143 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,240 At the same time, contact Service Canada for your CPP. 144 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,963 If you are collecting QPP, contact Retraite Quebec and they 145 00:08:17,963 --> 00:08:21,843 will provide you with the estimate of your CPP or QPP at 146 00:08:21,843 --> 00:08:22,320 age 65. 147 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,065 This way you know the amount that will cease and you will 148 00:08:26,065 --> 00:08:29,872 know the amount that will kick in at 65, and then you can plan 149 00:08:29,872 --> 00:08:30,960 that coordination. 150 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:37,568 In 1987, CPP and QPP decided to create more flexibility to 151 00:08:37,568 --> 00:08:38,560 Canadians. 152 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:44,138 So as of 1987, someone could collect their CPP or QPP as 153 00:08:44,138 --> 00:08:49,466 early as age 60, we call this an early CPP/QPP, or they could 154 00:08:49,466 --> 00:08:54,192 defer their CPP/QPP up to age 70, we call the deferred 155 00:08:54,192 --> 00:08:54,880 CPP/QPP. 156 00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:00,237 Keep in mind that these changes in 1987 had no impact into the 157 00:09:00,237 --> 00:09:04,215 Canadian Armed Forces Pension Plan because they're two 158 00:09:04,215 --> 00:09:08,627 separate legislations, which means taking your early CPP/QPP 159 00:09:08,627 --> 00:09:13,039 or deferring your your CPP/QPP has no impact on your bridge. 160 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,800 Let's look at the early CPP/QPP scenario. 161 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:22,216 You are retiring, you're releasing, you're getting your 162 00:09:22,216 --> 00:09:25,880 monthly pension, which is your lifetime plus your bridge. 163 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,680 Your bridge will continue up to age 65. 164 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,040 That's the plan. 165 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,360 You decide to collect your early CPP/QPP as early as age 60. 166 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,849 You can see that the bridge benefit will continue up to age 167 00:09:43,849 --> 00:09:44,080 65. 168 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,600 No impact. 169 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,851 This means that you are accessing more money between 60 170 00:09:49,851 --> 00:09:53,960 and 65 because you are getting your lifetime plus your bridge. 171 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,320 And on top of this, you are collecting your early CPP/QPP. 172 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,783 Keep in mind that anything you collect before the prescribed 173 00:10:03,783 --> 00:10:05,320 time will be reduced. 174 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,592 On the other side, if you are releasing and you are collecting 175 00:10:10,592 --> 00:10:14,424 your lifetime and your bridge, your bridge will cease at 65 as 176 00:10:14,424 --> 00:10:17,039 per the Canadian Armed Forces legislation. 177 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,316 You decide to defer your CPP or your QPP to the latest which is 178 00:10:23,316 --> 00:10:23,880 age 70. 179 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,779 The bridge will still cease at age 65, so therefore you can see 180 00:10:30,779 --> 00:10:33,320 a shortfall between 65 and 70. 181 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,933 However, your your CPP/QPP will be increased because you're 182 00:10:38,933 --> 00:10:40,880 deferring it for a later time. 183 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,512 So through these two scenarios, you see that whenever you decide 184 00:10:47,512 --> 00:10:51,826 to collect your CPP/QPP between 60 and 70, your bridge will 185 00:10:51,826 --> 00:10:53,120 still cease at 65. 186 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,995 The only time that bridge will cease before 65 only for one 187 00:10:57,995 --> 00:10:58,480 reason. 188 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,629 As mentioned earlier, if you are collecting CPP or QPP for 189 00:11:02,629 --> 00:11:06,990 disability reason and this is your obligation to let know the 190 00:11:06,990 --> 00:11:11,281 Government of Canada Pension Center, this way, we will cease 191 00:11:11,281 --> 00:11:13,040 your bridge at that time. 192 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,720 Otherwise, you will be facing bridge overpayment. 193 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,654 Now let's talk more about pension entitlements and 194 00:11:21,654 --> 00:11:22,240 options. 195 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,308 As soon as you have over two years of pensionable service, 196 00:11:26,308 --> 00:11:30,036 you are vested into the pension plan, which means you will be 197 00:11:30,036 --> 00:11:31,359 entitled to a pension. 198 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,764 If you release before age 50, you have the option to take your 199 00:11:36,764 --> 00:11:37,880 transfer value. 200 00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:41,160 A transfer value is a lump sum payment. 201 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,074 Basically, the transfer value reflects the present value of 202 00:11:46,074 --> 00:11:48,160 your future deferred annuity. 203 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,637 The deferred annuity as a monthly pension payable at 60 204 00:11:52,637 --> 00:11:53,680 without a reduction. 205 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,002 The transfer value objective is to pay you today the money you 206 00:11:59,002 --> 00:12:01,280 require to invest in the market. 207 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,096 This way you should receive something similar as your 208 00:12:05,096 --> 00:12:07,080 deferred annuity payable at 60. 209 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,750 However, this will depend on the investment rates and how you are 210 00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:18,418 managing your funds because taking a transfer value means 211 00:12:18,418 --> 00:12:22,200 that you are cutting ties with a pension plan. 212 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,990 So you are on your own, you are taking your payout, you are 213 00:12:26,990 --> 00:12:28,840 investing it in the market. 214 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,420 You could receive a higher amount than the deferred annuity 215 00:12:32,420 --> 00:12:34,920 that the Government of Canada would have paid you. 216 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,000 Also, you could receive a lesser amount. 217 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,879 So the burden of the investments is on your shoulders and there 218 00:12:42,879 --> 00:12:44,360 are no more guarantees. 219 00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:49,398 You are on your own and because you are cutting ties with the 220 00:12:49,398 --> 00:12:54,159 pension plan, this means that there is no indexing, there is 221 00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:58,920 no survivor benefits, there's no health or dental coverages. 222 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,684 If you wish to keep your supplementary death benefit, 223 00:13:03,684 --> 00:13:07,823 which is the life insurance, it will be under commercial rate 224 00:13:07,823 --> 00:13:09,960 which means it's more expensive. 225 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,681 Also keep in mind that you have one year from ceasing to make 226 00:13:17,681 --> 00:13:18,680 this option. 227 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,093 After the one year, the default option will be your deferred 228 00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:26,000 annuity payable at 60 on a monthly unreduced. 229 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,520 Taking a transfer value has also an income tax impact. 230 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,080 Not the whole value will be paid to you directly. 231 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,658 A portion of that transfer value is considered the amount within 232 00:13:39,658 --> 00:13:43,367 tax limit and that portion will need to be transferred to a 233 00:13:43,367 --> 00:13:44,480 locked in vehicle. 234 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,558 It could be a locked in RRSP, a registered pension plan or to 235 00:13:49,558 --> 00:13:53,858 purchase a life annuity and it will be locked in under the 236 00:13:53,858 --> 00:13:56,920 provision of the province where you live. 237 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,086 The other portion is considered the amount in excess of the tax 238 00:14:05,086 --> 00:14:09,393 limit and that portion will be paid to you directly and as an 239 00:14:09,393 --> 00:14:09,880 income. 240 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,480 It will be taxed at source. 241 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:18,274 If you have some RRSP room, you can put a portion of that amount 242 00:14:18,274 --> 00:14:19,760 into your RRSPs. 243 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,720 So this was the lump sum option. 244 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,840 Now let's talk about the monthly pension. 245 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,960 The best monthly pension is the immediate annuity. 246 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,596 It is the best one because it's paid immediately at release and 247 00:14:41,596 --> 00:14:43,920 its unreduced monthly pension. 248 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,093 However, to be entitled to that immediate annuity, you need to 249 00:14:49,093 --> 00:14:50,400 meet some criteria. 250 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,949 The most common criteria for the Canadian Armed Forces is the 25 251 00:14:55,949 --> 00:15:00,325 years or more of CF service, which reflects the Canadian 252 00:15:00,325 --> 00:15:01,400 Force service. 253 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,312 When I mentioned 25 or more years, that means 25 years of 254 00:15:06,312 --> 00:15:06,960 full time. 255 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,360 That's why it says on my slide 9131 days. 256 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,830 Some of you could still be entitled to the old provision 257 00:15:17,830 --> 00:15:19,360 which was the 20 years. 258 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,800 You should be aware of your your entitlements. 259 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,615 If you are unsure please you can contact us at the Government of 260 00:15:27,615 --> 00:15:28,880 Canada Pension Center. 261 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,030 Also, you could access the immediate annuity through 262 00:15:34,030 --> 00:15:37,680 another criteria which is the age and the pensionable service. 263 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,816 Minimum 55 years of age with at least 30 years of pensionable 264 00:15:43,816 --> 00:15:44,520 service. 265 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,323 Ultimately speaking, once you hit age 60 and you release, you 266 00:15:51,323 --> 00:15:55,480 will be entitled to immediate annuity, unreduced pension. 267 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,080 These are the regular release. 268 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,948 You would also have the disability release under the 269 00:16:04,948 --> 00:16:10,230 Reserve Pension Plan the Part 1.1 at any age if you have two 270 00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:13,520 or more years of pensionable service. 271 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,204 You could release without a reduction under the Reg Force 272 00:16:19,204 --> 00:16:22,200 Pension Plan the Part 1 full time. 273 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,385 If you have at least 10 years or more of pensionable service at 274 00:16:27,385 --> 00:16:30,480 any age, you could release with no reduction. 275 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,672 The difference between the reserve and the Reg Force will 276 00:16:34,672 --> 00:16:36,760 be the definition of the disability. 277 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,247 Keep in mind that the Government of Canada Pension Center does 278 00:16:41,247 --> 00:16:43,400 not determine the disability release. 279 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,960 This is dealt at DND level. 280 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,260 If you wish to release earlier with the monthly pension, you 281 00:16:54,260 --> 00:16:57,776 could collect your annual allowance which is a monthly 282 00:16:57,776 --> 00:16:58,800 reduced pension. 283 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,120 This monthly reduced pension is payable as early as age 50. 284 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,250 You need to have at least two or more years of pensionable so you 285 00:17:08,250 --> 00:17:10,120 need to be vested into the pension plan. 286 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,748 Because you are collecting your pension before the prescribed 287 00:17:15,748 --> 00:17:18,560 time, you will be reduced on your calculation. 288 00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:23,560 These are the formula to calculate your reduction. 289 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,196 So based on your age and pensionable service, one of the 290 00:17:28,196 --> 00:17:29,600 formulas will be used. 291 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:31,360 Let's do a scenario. 292 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,940 Let's think of someone who's age 56 with 20 years of pensionable 293 00:17:35,940 --> 00:17:36,440 service. 294 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:42,413 Because this person is not at least age 60, they are at least 295 00:17:42,413 --> 00:17:47,427 age 55 and don't have the 30 years of pensionable service and 296 00:17:47,427 --> 00:17:52,360 they don't meet the criteria for the 25 years of CF service. 297 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,622 If this person decide to collect their monthly pension, it will 298 00:17:56,622 --> 00:17:58,840 be an annual allowance, monthly reduced. 299 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,470 Because this person has less than 25 years of service, we 300 00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:06,760 will be using the first formula. 301 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,200 First, we will calculate their monthly unreduced pension. 302 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,320 Let's say that amount is $3000 a month. 303 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,822 Applying the monthly reduced formula, the first one 5% * 60 304 00:18:21,822 --> 00:18:25,240 minus their current age which is 56. 305 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,880 This is a 20% reduction of the 3000 monthly pension. 306 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,615 Their monthly pension will be 2400 and it's a reduction for 307 00:18:36,615 --> 00:18:37,040 life. 308 00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:42,720 They're losing $600 a month for life. 309 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,899 However, they are collecting their pension 4 years earlier, 310 00:18:47,899 --> 00:18:52,558 so you have to compare to do that comparison and a better 311 00:18:52,558 --> 00:18:52,960 plan. 312 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,652 If you're not entitled to an unreduced pension at release, 313 00:18:57,652 --> 00:19:01,658 you always have the deferred annuity as an entitlement, which 314 00:19:01,658 --> 00:19:04,760 is the monthly unreduced pension payable at 60. 315 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,896 So you are releasing before age 60 and instead of collecting 316 00:19:09,896 --> 00:19:14,005 your pension with a monthly reduction, you are deferring up 317 00:19:14,005 --> 00:19:17,840 to age 60 and it will be paid to you without reduction. 318 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:24,577 So if we go back to our previous scenario, a member who's aged 56 319 00:19:24,577 --> 00:19:29,671 with 20 years, their monthly unreduced is $3000, however 320 00:19:29,671 --> 00:19:31,279 payable at age 60. 321 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,780 So they are releasing, they will manage to live working somewhere 322 00:19:37,780 --> 00:19:42,297 else or through their other means of income and they will 323 00:19:42,297 --> 00:19:45,880 get their monthly $3000 payable as of age 60. 324 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:53,070 Keep in mind that when you opt for the deferred annuity, at any 325 00:19:53,070 --> 00:19:57,711 time you can change your mind and take your monthly pension 326 00:19:57,711 --> 00:19:59,800 reduced as early as age 50. 327 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,840 So example, you decide to take your pension at age 56. 328 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,674 The same formula that we saw earlier will follow you, 329 00:20:11,674 --> 00:20:12,320 however. 330 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,325 Now we will do 60 - 58, which is your current age at time of your 331 00:20:18,325 --> 00:20:18,920 option. 332 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,699 That's a 10% reduction, which is better than a 20% reduction that 333 00:20:23,699 --> 00:20:24,640 we saw earlier. 334 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,093 You have this slide that summarizes all the entitlements 335 00:20:29,093 --> 00:20:33,241 and the options available to you based on your age and years of 336 00:20:33,241 --> 00:20:33,760 service. 337 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,721 If you are unsure of your entitlement and options, please 338 00:20:39,721 --> 00:20:42,160 give us a call at the Pension center. 339 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,160 A pension expert will help you go through your options. 340 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,893 In terms of release process, you have to contact the Pension 341 00:20:51,893 --> 00:20:52,400 Center. 342 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,980 If you know your date of release, we ask you to contact 343 00:20:55,980 --> 00:20:58,840 the Pension Center six months prior to your release. 344 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:03,577 This way you have enough time to make a proper decision, have 345 00:21:03,577 --> 00:21:08,249 access to your release package, complete all your forms and send 346 00:21:08,249 --> 00:21:09,400 them back to us. 347 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,749 You also need to request your release from your department and 348 00:21:16,749 --> 00:21:22,218 they suggest also a six months prior if possible.
