Supplementary Retirement Benefit

Can anyone explain specifically how this benefit works/how it’s actually calculated?
Thanks.

Supplementary Retirement Benefit

This is a taxable, lump-sum benefit provided to individuals who were in receipt of Earnings Loss Benefits on a long term basis. It is provided in recognition of the lower pension plan contributions you may have made.

Do I qualify?

As a Veteran, you may qualify if you were in receipt of the Earnings Loss Benefit and that benefit has ended.

As a survivor, you may qualify if you were in receipt of the Earnings Loss Benefit for survivors and that benefit has ended.

How do I apply?

Your VAC case manager can assist you with your application.

If you do not have a case manager, the staff at any VAC office or Integrated Personnel Support Centre (IPSC) can assist you.

You can also fill out the application and mail it to us.

OR

If you are registered for My VAC Account, you can apply online now. If you aren’t registered, why wait? Register today.
