Maintenance Enforcement
The court can order the withdrawal of funds from your account balance to enforce maintenance orders.
If you are in arrears of maintenance payments for at least three months, the Director of the Maintenance Enforcement Office may file a Notice to Administrator of Intention to Attach Pension Entitlement with PEPP. The Plan is obligated to make a payment from your account balance.
The amount transferred to Maintenance Enforcement is subject to required income tax deductions. PEPP will issue you a T4A form.
As outlined in the Member Transaction Fees, PEPP charges an administration fee to offset the cost of complying with the maintenance order. PEPP deducts the fee from your account balance.
