If you die after retirement, then the benefits payable will be in accordance with the provision of the applicable form of pension that you chose.

If you die after retirement and prior to the expiry of any applicable guarantee period, the designated beneficiary will receive any remaining monthly payments until the end of the guarantee period. The beneficiary may elect to receive the commuted valuate of the remaining instalments in a lump sum cash payment.

If you die before retirement, your beneficiary or estate will receive the greater of the commuted value of your Minimum Guarantee pension or the balance in your Money Purchase Component Account (both Employee plus Employer portions and investment earnings) plus your Voluntary contributions Account, if applicable.

In the absence of a waiver signed by your spouse, the pre-retirement death benefit will be paid to your spouse, not to your beneficiary if other than your spouse. This is required by legislation.

You may use the Carleton Retirement Planner to review your pension details and to calculate  pension estimates.  Review the Retirement Planner User Guide for details.

You can view your current leave balance by logging into Carleton Central, going to the Employee Services tab, and then clicking Leave Information.
