Married or common-law

If you want to change your Pension Plan beneficiary because you got married, entered a common-law relationship, or have separated/divorced, please report the change in relationship status as a Life Event.

If you prefer a paper form or cannot access the member portal, please contact us.

If your spouse or common-law partner has passed away, please contact us directly so we may help you navigate this difficult time.

i If you are married or in a common-law relationship, your spouse or common-law partner is automatically your Pension Plan beneficiary unless they formally waive (give up) their rights.
