#DYK If you have a spouse at the time of retirement, you have three pension options to
choose from. The pension option you choose is important as it will determine the amount
of pension paid to your surviving spouse after you die. Visit our website for more information: https://t.co/BoVydHNpqn

Gaps in your PSSP Contributions? If you had periods without contributions to the PSSP,
such as during approved leaves, you may have the option to purchase prior service with
a current or previous PSSP employer. Purchasing service could increase your pension
amount and/or allow you to retire sooner. Click here to learn more: https://t.co/cz248VRSsj
