(3) Indexing rate:(a) for a fully-indexed benefit according to the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate is computed in the manner described in the CIA Standard;
(b) for a benefit indexed according to the excess of the rate of increase in the pension index (PI) over 3% or to half of the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate corresponds respectively to the excess of the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in subparagraph a over 3% or to half the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in that subparagraph.
In order to take into account the inflation rate variations, the following additions are made to the results of effective indexing formulas for actuarial value computation purposes.
Inflation level | Addition to the result of the PI-3% formula | Adjusted indexing rate | Addition to the result of the 50% PI, min. PI-3% formula | Adjusted indexing rate |
0 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.20 | 0.20 |
0.5 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.10 | 0.35 |
1.0 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.05 | 0.55 |
1.5 | 0.05 | 0.05 | 0.00 | 0.75 |
2.0 | 0.10 | 0.10 | 0.00 | 1.00 |
2.5 | 0.20 | 0.20 | 0.00 | 1.25 |
3.0 | 0.40 | 0.40 | 0.00 | 1.50 |
3.5 | 0.20 | 0.70 | 0.00 | 1.75 |
4.0 | 0.10 | 1.10 | 0.00 | 2.00 |
4.5 | 0.05 | 1.55 | 0.00 | 2.25 |
The result must be rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.10%.
(7) Age difference between spouses at death:— the male spouse of the member is assumed to be 1 year older;
— the female spouse of the member is assumed to be 4 years younger.
