Interest on Survivor Benefits

The Policy and Research Division has developed a discussion paper on Interest on Survivor Benefits (PDF 39kb) for consideration by stakeholders. At issue is whether the interest policy should be expanded in scope to provide for interest payments on retroactive section 17 survivor benefits that are the result of a blatant Board error.

Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on the discussion paper, options, draft policy, and any additional comments that may be relevant to the issue.

Stakeholder comments will be accepted until Friday January 20, 2006. When responding, please provide your name, organization, and address. Comments may be sent by mail, fax or e-mail to:

The identity of those who have participated on their own behalf will be kept confidential according to the provisions of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
