Returning to work after retirement

If you return to work after retiring, you will continue to receive your pension from the plan.

You may decide to return to work after you retire and are receiving a pension from BC's Municipal Pension Plan. If this is the case, you will continue to receive your pension.

After your pension effective date (the first day of the month you begin receiving your pension)

If you start working for an employer that participates in the Municipal Pension Plan, please inform your employer that you are a retired member of the plan. This will ensure that your employer does not re-enrol you in the plan.

Before your pension effective date

If you start working for another employer that participates in the Municipal Pension Plan, you will remain an active member of the plan until you end your employment with both employers. If you applied for your pension prior to starting your new job, you may be able to continue with your retirement application. Contact the plan for more information.

If your new employer does not participate in the Municipal Pension Plan, you may be eligible to contribute to your new employer’s pension plan, if it has one. Talk to your new employer for details.
