Other pensions and benefits

  • Other private or public agencies, like the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ), the Commission de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CSST) or a life insurance company, could pay indemnities or pensions following a person's death.
  • Some supplemental pension plans, commonly called pension funds, also pay benefits following a member's death.
  • Amounts accumulated in a supplemental pension plan are subject to different income tax rules depending on whether they are left to the spouse, to the dependent children or to another person.
