Section 56.1.1
Disposition versions
56.1.1. Despite section 56, the spouse of a pensioner is entitled to receive a pension equal to the one established in accordance with the second or third paragraph of this section, if the pensioner dies after Retraite Québec receives his pension application but before the 31st day following the date of the notice from Retraite Québec inviting him to express his will regarding the election provided for in section 56.1 and before Retraite Québec receives the expression of his will regarding the election provided for in section 56.1.
The pension to which the spouse is entitled under the first paragraph, from the month following the death of the pensioner, is equal to 60% of the pension to which the pensioner was entitled, but which is reduced by 2% and by the amount obtained under section 51, even if the pensioner dies before 65 years of age.
However, if the spouse is not entitled to a pension under the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9) when the pensioner dies, the pension to which the spouse is entitled, from the month following the death of the pensioner, is equal to 60% of the pension to which the pensioner was entitled, but which is reduced by 2%. However, that reduction does not apply to the amount added, if applicable, to the annual amount of the pension under section 44.3.
