The Desjardins Group Pension Plan ("DGPP" or "Plan") is a defined benefit pension plan for the purpose of providing you with lifetime retirement income, i.e. money you will receive throughout your lifetime.
To establish the amount of the DGPP pension you can expect to receive, several factors are considered, including the number of years you participate in the pension plan as well as the average of the highest salaries you earn during your career at Desjardins Group.
