Forms regarding a separation
Retraite Québec offers forms to complete, which must be sent to the plan administrator, not to Retraite Québec, in order to make the steps taken by couples that are separating regarding the partition of benefits accrued under a voluntary retirement savings plan (VRSP) or a supplemental pension plan in the private, municipal or university sectors easier.
The plan administrator can charge a fee for producing Statement. The fee varies depending on the type of plan or application. The fees are subject to a maximum, except for the RCR-136 form. For example, for a defined-benefit plan, the fee required for the production of a Statement cannot exceed $250, of which each spouse must pay $125. For a defined-contribution plan or a VRSP, the fees cannot exceed $150, of which each spouse must pay $75.
