Good morning Chief, I understand how it must often seem like there is too much (web-based) information out there for CF members to determine exactly where to start when seeking answers on the complex issue of their future pension benefit. Adding to this complexity is the fact that the responsibility for the development CF Pension policy falls under CMP (DGCB/DPSP) and the administration of the policy falls under ADM(Fin CS), specifically, within Pension Services (DCFPS). In recognition of the fact that this distinction is not necessarily clear to all members, we have recently made changes to the CF Pensions home-page on the CMP web-site intended to clarify this point and to help members navigate to the information they need, when they need it.

I am working with CMP's PA staff on a number of media possibilities to announce the changes and heighten awareness within the CF community of the availability of these web-based resources. All of that to say, we often receive queries from members seeking info regarding the administration of their pension benefits and inevitably, we end up forwarding these to Pension Services (DCFPS) to provide the response as these questions fall within their AOR. I hope the info above is helpful, but please feel free to contact me anytime if you think I can assist.
Regards.
