Spouse’s Consent and Waiver of Post-Retirement Survivor Benefits
The spouse of a member of the Public Employees Pension Plan is entitled, on the member’s death after retirement, to a benefit of at least 60 per cent of the
original pension payable to the member.
The options named in Section B may not or do not meet that requirement. Under these three options, it is possible that the spouse will receive no pension
- zero dollars - after the member’s death. The member can transfer money from the PEPP account to a variable benefit account, a prescribed registered
retirement income fund contract, or a life annuity with a less than 60 per cent survivor benefit only if the spouse agrees to the transfer and notifies PEPP by
completing this form and submitting it to the address listed above.
This form must be completed and signed by the spouse outside the immediate presence of the member and must be witnessed by a Notary Public or
Commissioner of Oaths.
This form is designed based on Saskatchewan legislation. Please contact PEPP if you are or were working outside Saskatchewan as your pension may be
subject to the legislation of another province.
