In anticipation of a potential mail disruption, the government’s Mail Distribution Agency (MDA) has advised that their regular mail service will cease until further notice. As a result, the Board has to temporarily change how it deals with outgoing mail. Until such time as there is an actual postal disruption, the Board expects to continue with business as usual, using regular postal services rather than MDA. The Board recognizes that individuals who are expecting a printed cheque from our office will be particularly concerned about a mail disruption. Printed cheques would include termination benefits and monthly pension cheques for those who still have paper cheques mailed to them. If a mail disruption has occurred or appears to be quite likely when a printed cheque is ready to be sent out, we will look at the alternatives available. These may include using the Province’s distribution centres, or holding cheques until the disruption has been resolved. If you are expecting a cheque to be mailed and would prefer to make arrangements to pick it up, please contact our office at 204-946-3200, or toll free (within Canada) at 1-800-432-5134, or by emailing askus@cssb.mb.ca. Pension payments made by direct deposit will not be affected ... Read More

The recent ratification of several collective agreements in the Province is expected to result in retroactive salary increases for many members in the plan. A retroactive salary adjustment may increase your pension if it increases your Best Five Year Average Pensionable Salary. Salary for pension purposes is defined in The Civil Service Superannuation Act and generally includes your regular remuneration (with any eligible vacation cash-out) and excludes anything else that does not form part of your regular remuneration. Regular remuneration is typically determined by the employer and may be defined in a collective agreement or employment contract. If a retroactive increase is considered by the employer as pensionable salary, the employer will deduct pension contributions and report that salary to the CSSB. Retroactive increases in pensionable earnings paid to employees in 2016 will be reported to us as part of the employer year end process in the first several months of 2017. If you leave employment in 2016, any retroactive salary amount that impacts your pensionable earnings would be used to determine your actual pension entitlement. We would do a recalculation to include retroactive salary paid to a former employee who has resigned, been dismissed, or died, if the former employee or ...
