Account statements are now available online through the My Documents area of myCSSPEN. Please keep in mind that you will receive a specific type of account statement depending on your membership status with the CSS Pension Plan.
Annual statements
Active contributing members, inactive members* and Variable Benefit (VB) recipients who have funds invested in CSS’ investment funds will receive an annual statement.
Your annual statement will show you the value of your account at year-end, along with your investment earnings and more. Learn more about understanding your annual statement.
If you receive a monthly pension payment from the CSS Pension Plan, you will not receive an annual statement.
*Inactive member – a member of the CSS Pension Plan who holds funds in a CSS Pension Plan account but no longer works for a participating employer or makes pension contributions.
T4A or NR4
Monthly pensioners and VB recipients who receive retirement income from the CSS Pension Plan will receive a T4A or NR4 slip. This slip provides the pension information you will need to report on your income tax return.
Follow the steps below to access your documents online and ensure your account information is up to date.
Prefer a paper statement? Annual statements and T4A/NR4 slips will be delivered in paper format by default unless you have previously opted-in for digital statement delivery through the myCSSPEN for members portal. Visit account statement delivery timelines for more information.
