Pension Pay Dates

In the following chart you'll find the pension pay dates for 2026. Pensions are paid each month, usually on the 26th, except for December and any month where the 26th falls on a weekend.

We deposit your pension electronically into your account at your financial institution. If you want to change that account, we need to hear from you by the 'cut-off date' shown below to get the change in place prior to that month's payment.
