Retirement

It is important to have a plan for your retirement – it will help you to decide how much income you will need to match the style of retirement you plan to have. For many Plan members, their monthly pension from the NSAHO Pension Plan may be the most significant part of their total retirement income. But it is not the only part. In addition to your pension from the NSAHO Pension Plan, there are two other sources that will add to your total retirement income – government benefits and your personal assets.

This section explains what you will need to know about retiring with a pension from the NSAHO Pension Plan. For example, you’ll find information on:

• when you can start receiving your pension,
• how much pension you will receive,
• bridging benefits,
• early retirement reductions,
• your pension options at retirement, and
• inflation protection for pensioners.
