You must contact the Saskatchewan Teachers' Superannuation Commission (STSC) to apply for any benefit payable from the superannuation plan by submitting the appropriate froms THREE months in advance of you receiving your allowance. Applying to commence your retirement allowance must be done separately from notifying your School Division of your retirement, even if you plan on returning to teach as a substitute or on a temporary contract.

*You must apply for any benefit from the plan before the end of the year that you reach age 71.

Because the Saskatchewan Teachers' Superannuation Plan (STSP) is integrated with the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), in addition to the Lifetime Retirement Allowance, the STSP provides for a Bridge Benefit from the date of the teacher's retirement to age 65. The Bridge Benefit is intended to fill the gap in income between the teacher's actual retirement date and the receipt of CPP benefits assumed to occur at age 65. The Bridge Benefit ends at age 65 regardless of when the teacher chooses to apply for and receive CPP.
