Cost

How do I pay for my part of the cost?

Monthly contributions from members, where applicable, are payable one month in advance of the effective date of coverage. They are deducted from salary or a recognized pension, surviving spouse's or children's benefit, as authorized in writing by the member.

What happens if the cost changes?

Whenever changes are made to the contribution rates, you will be informed by your Personnel or Pension office. You should periodically ensure that the correct monthly contributions are being deducted from your salary or pension.

How do I pay if I'm not getting a paycheque?

Active members who proceed on authorized leave without pay (LWOP) or on seasonal lay-off may continue their coverage and that of their dependants by paying the required contributions, in advance, to their Personnel office by cheque or money order made payable to the Receiver General for Canada. Members must contact their Personnel office, before proceeding on leave, regarding the requirement to make contributions for continued coverage.

Where do I call if I have a question about my costs?

• your contributions?
