R-15.1 - Supplemental Pension Plans Act

Full text
142. For the sole purpose of establishing the degree of solvency of a pension plan at the date of an actuarial valuation,
(1)  the plan’s assets must be increased by the special improvement payment prescribed in section 139; and
(2)  the plan’s liabilities must be increased by the value of the additional obligations arising from any amendment to the plan considered for the first time on the date of the valuation, calculated on the assumption that the effective date of the amendment is the valuation date.
The degree of solvency of a pension plan at the date of an actuarial valuation is the percentage that the plan’s assets are of its liabilities.

142. The amortization period for an unfunded actuarial liability begins at the date of the actuarial valuation in which the unfunded liability is determined. It expires at the end of a fiscal year of the pension plan that ends
(1)  no later than five years after the date of the valuation, if the liability is a solvency deficiency; or
(2)  no later than 15 years after the date of the valuation, if the liability is a funding deficiency.

(3)  amounts credited to a member’s account following a transfer, even a transfer other than a transfer under Chapter VII, with accrued interest.
