The Civil Service Superannuation Board has engaged Prairie Research Associates (PRA Inc.) to survey our members about their satisfaction with the services we provide.
This feedback is valuable to us and will help us understand what’s important to our members and where we need to improve.
The Board approved a 1.25% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for eligible pension recipients, which will be included in the July 2018 pension payments.
Members sometimes want to give CSSB permission to speak directly with a family member, friend, or financial advisor about their pension or insurance questions. Clear instructions from you as to who Board staff can talk to will help us balance protection of your privacy with the desire to help you get the information you need.
The 2017 CSSB Annual Report is now available in the Publications section.
T4A’s in respect of pension payments made in 2017 have been sent to Canada Post for mailing. Your T4A will have been mailed to you if you are not registered for Online Services, or if you are registered for Online Services but you had not accessed your T4A at the time the forms were printed.
The Civil Service Superannuation Board office has been contacted by members who are concerned that their pensions under the Civil Service Superannuation Fund are in danger because of possible changes to pension legislation in the province.
Their concern relates to changes that have been recommended to The Pension Benefits Act and Regulations. This legislation provides pension rules that apply to all pension plans registered in Manitoba, including the Civil Service Superannuation Fund. The Pension Benefits Act recently underwent a regularly scheduled review, which resulted in a number of recommended changes. These recommendations are now open for public consultation.
