If the retired person dies
The pension paid by the Régie will stop being paid as of the month following the death of the retired person.
If you are his or her spouse, the Régie provides for a surviving spouse's pension. You could be entitled to it. Inquire right now.
Have you filed an application for retirement pension sharing between spouses ? Pension sharing ends at the end of the month following the death of one of the spouses. The surviving spouse will then be entitled to the same retirement pension amount, if any, that he or she was receiving before pension sharing began.
Note that...
- The federal Old Age Security Pension will also stop being paid as of the month following the death.
- The retirement pension and the Old Age Security Pension are neither transferable to the surviving spouse nor to the heirs.
