Nova Scotia Teachers' Pension Plan

Did you know? Maximum Pensionable Service is based on a maximum of 35 years of pensionable service. When a Plan member reaches 35 years of pensionable service, they stop contributing to the Plan, and any service beyond 35 years is not considered in the pension formula.
