Pension Plan Members

Pension Plan Members

The FCAA is responsible for administering Saskatchewan’s The Pension Benefits Act, 1992 (the Act). With a few exceptions, the Act applies to employer-sponsored pension plans to which Saskatchewan residents are members. The FCAA is also responsible for administering the pension laws of other jurisdictions, in cases where a plan is registered in Saskatchewan and has members from outside the provincee.

Additionally the FCAA is responsible for administering The Pooled Registered Pension Plans (Saskatchewan ) Act. However, pursuant to an agreement with the Government of Canada and several provincial governments, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), a federal body, is responsible for the regulation and supervision of Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPPs), including those which provide benefits to Saskatchewan residents.
