This notice is to inform plan members and employers participating in the Public Service Health Care Plan (PSHCP) that as of April 1, 2019, the contribution rates for Pensioner Supplementary coverage and Pensioner Supplementary Relief Provision coverage will increase.

The new rates can be found in Schedule V of the PSHCP Plan Directive on the National Joint Council website.

These new rates will be reflected in the March 2019­ payroll. Pay and pension system administrators have been advised of these changes to ensure the necessary actions are taken.

Future contribution rates will be adjusted to maintain the relevant cost sharing ratio between members and the employer and compensate for increases in current and projected plan costs.
