The amount of your retirement pension depends on your duration of insurance, but also on the average annual income of the 25 most advantageous years of your career. To find out your duration of insurance, you can refer to your career statement, or statement of individual situation, which will confirm whether you can benefit from a full pension. When your pension rights are calculated, however, it is important to quickly check whether any errors have crept in. Indeed, a recalculation of your pension is only possible in certain cases. Explanations.
As soon as you receive your retirement notification, you must, as soon as possible, find out the amount that has been allocated to you, as well as the data used to calculate it. In the event that you notice errors, it is therefore essential to react as quickly as possible to assert the existing remedies. If you are an employee in the private sector, you have two months to appeal to the Amiable Appeal Commission (CRA). When new items change the calculation, you can report them, in this context, at any time to get a recalculation.
Civil servants, for their part, have a full year to notify errors in their pension. If it is a so-called “legal” error, that is to say the incorrect application of the regulations, you can act in this direction and obtain compensation. Beyond this limit, the error is considered final and it is no longer possible to modify it. In the event of a material error, with, for example, the presence of an incorrect marital status, this period is canceled and you can request changes without a specific period of time.
