Amendments Made to the Québec Pension Plan

On 1 January 2026, the calculation of the retirement pension for persons who are entitled to a reduced income replacement indemnity from the Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CNESST) was modified. As a result, the months during which a person was entitled to the indemnity as of that date will be excluded from the calculation of the retirement pension under the QPP. This person will have to have been entitled to the indemnity for at least 24 consecutive months.

Persons who will be entitled or have already been entitled to an income replacement indemnity from the CNESST do not have any steps to take. Due to the time required to adapt our systems to this change, the modification to the calculation of these persons' retirement pensions will apply at a later date. At that time, we will retroactively pay the amounts to which the persons are entitled.

Please note that we are unable to provide an estimate of the retirement pension amount that the affected persons will receive.
