There are many great things about your LAPP pension:
- It is paid for your lifetime.
- The pension formula provides a specified income regardless of market conditions or how long you live.
- The longer you work, the more your pension grows.
- It can provide a lifetime income for a spouse or partner if you pass away.
- It is adjusted for inflation annually.
- Your contributions are tax deductible.
- Pension funds are professionally managed, so you have no need to make difficult investment decisions.
- You can add to your service with transfers from other pension plans and buying back periods of leave.
