BACKGROUND
|
|
|
2.1
|
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) initiated
a Pension Reform Project to, among other things, develop
new and revised administrative and system support processes
to meet the needs of the new pension fund.
|
|
|
2.2
|
One of the goals of Pension Reform was to increase the
accuracy and control of Return of Contributions. It was
deemed that to accomplish this the administrative responsibilities
should be transferred under the Superannuation Directorate
control.
|
|
|
2.3
|
Further review has determined that because of increased
administrative burden that would be placed on departments
and agencies, the transfer of responsibilities will be postponed
and reassessed later in conjunction with the Compensation
Modernization Project.
