Pensions
In 2014 SFUFA began to explore pension options for faculty. Effective July 1, 2021, SFUFA and SFU have made arrangements to transition to the BC College Pension Plan (BCCPP).
If you are uncertain as to whether you have been moved to the new plan, please contact [email protected]
Preparations are now being made for members who wish to purchase ‘years of service’ in the College Plan. This is entirely voluntary, and the default is for existing pension contributions in the old SFU plan to stay in that plan. But those who do want to transfer funds to the BCCPP have now been asked to complete a form to indicate possible interest in buying years of service. We will stress that filling out this form is not a commitment to purchase years of service or to move one’s funds – rather it indicates to the BCCPP that a member would like to know what their individualized cost of years of service will be so that they may then decide how to proceed.
The form and information on past years of service can be found at:
