Other Forms of the Question
- Am I eligible for the program?
- Can I participate in the program?
Answer:
Members must meet all three criteria:
- You must work as a Personal Support Worker (PSW) as defined by your job duties.
- In your role you provide assistance with personal care, daily living activities, and support tasks in home, community, or healthcare settings
- At least one employer provides retirement contributions of 1.0% of your income or less (or none at all)
- You have worked at least 90 days AND 156 hours in the past year
All three criteria must be met. Partial eligibility does not qualify. Members who are unsure whether their role classifies as PSW work can check the National Occupational Classification tool at noc.esdc.gc.ca.
