Many federal retirees who receive pension cheques by mail have expressed worry and concern due to the ongoing Canada Post strike.
The Pension Centre has been proactively encouraging members to move to direct deposit to avoid possible delays in receiving pension payments. If a member opts for direct deposit, the Pension Centre is able to reissue any missing paper cheques that may have been delayed due to the Canada Post disruption.
If a member chooses to continue to receive a paper cheque, the Pension Centre can accommodate the request by sending the cheque by courier if needed. This request can only be made by reaching out to the Pension Centre directly.
For further information, or to make such a request, please contact the Pension Centre.
