The Treasury Board has announced the new PSHCP monthly contribution rates.  

Contribution rates for retired members of the Public Service Health Care Plan  (PSHCP) are adjusted to maintain the 50:50 (retired member:employer) cost-sharing ratio for supplementary coverage.

Rates for retired members of the PSHCP with supplementary coverage will be updated as of April 1, 2020. Since contributions are owed one month in advance, the new rates (see below) will be reflected on retired members’ March 2020 pension payments for April 2020 coverage. 

The following tables break down the contribution rates by the Extended Health Provision (EHP) and Hospital Provision (HP) with a total amount paid by the pensioner each month. The tables compare 2019 rates (left) with the new rates for 2020 (right).

Retired member monthly contribution rates: relief provision

If you joined the PSHCP as a retired member on or before March 31, 2015, relief from increasing PSHCP rates may be available if you are or become a recipient of a Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), or if your net or joint net income is lower than the GIS thresholds. The PSHCP Relief Provision can allow you to retain the 25:75 (retired member:employer) monthly contribution cost-sharing model. Visit Public Services and Procurement Canada to find out more about eligibility and how to apply.
