Q76: Why should Pension Plan Administrators update their email address on the PSP?
A76: The Pension Plan Administrator contact person has a duty to remain in contact with FSRA. Therefore, FSRA must always have up-to-date contact information for the Pension Plan Administrator.
The PSP should always have a current email address for the Pension Plan Administrator, Pension Plan Administrators receive important email notifications when certain events occur (e.g., a required filing is submitted, a delegation request is accepted).
When FSRA sends an email notification to the Pension Plan Administrator, FSRA considers the email to be received. If the PSP has an out-of-date email address for the Pension Plan Administrator, this is not considered an acceptable reason for waiving any late fees or other penalties that are incurred as a result of not receiving the emails. –03/2013
