September 13, 2017


The Treasury Board has announced the new Pensioners' Dental Services Plan (PDSP) Monthly Contribution Rates that will come into effect on Oct. 1, 2017.

The chart below illustrates the new PDSP contribution rates effective Oct. 1, 2017.

“It is not widely known, but federal pensioners benefit from the Pensioners' Dental Services Plan only because of the persistent, sustained and effective advocacy efforts of the National Association of Federal Retirees,” said Jean-Guy Soulière, President of the National Association of Federal Retirees.

The new contribution rates will be reflected on the September 2017 pension cheques. PDSP contribution rates were last adjusted in October 2010.
