Answer
No. In accordance with the provisions of the Federal PSSA and the anticipated Divestiture Regulations which will apply to the Yukon Health Authority transition, a transferred contributor can only commence receipt of a Federal PSSA monthly pension benefit upon termination of employment with the Yukon Health Authority. However, a transferred contributor, if eligible, can exercise an option to receive a lump sum benefit (i.e. a Return of Contributions plus interest (ROC) or a Transfer Value (TV)) at any time within one year subsequent to the date of transfer to the Yukon Health Authority.
