Ontario's Pension Benefits Guarantee Fund (PBGF) protects members and beneficiaries of certain single employer defined benefit pension plans. In the event of an employer's bankruptcy, the PBGF guarantees benefits payable from these plans, subject to specific maximums and specific inclusions.
The fund is governed by the Pension Benefits Act (PBA) and Regulations, and is administered by the CEO of FSRA.
