The ABCs of your defined benefit plan

• A better understanding of the characteristics of your defined benefit pension plan will help you make better plans for retirement.
• The plan summary, annual statement, advance notice of plan amendments, statement of cessation of membership and the other statements you may receive are useful documents that will increase your awareness. They provide information on your plan for various situations.
• If you have questions or need information about your plan, contact the plan administrator. To find out who to contact, you can refer to your annual statement or use our online Pension Plans Supervised by the Régie.

What you need to know

• It is important not to confuse the annual statement on your pension plan that you receive from your employer and the Statement of Participation issued by the Régie des rentes du Québec.
