220.1. The Government may, with respect to classes of employees designated under the first paragraph of section 10.1, establish a plan which provides for supplementary benefits payable from the date of retirement. The Government may also provide in the plan for the payment of benefits to the spouses of such employees.
Benefits accumulated during the marriage under the supplementary benefits plan form part of the family patrimony established under the Civil Code of Québec. In that respect, the Government may render all or some of the rules contained in or enacted pursuant to Chapter VII.1 of Title I applicable to the plan. It may also enact special rules concerning the determination and evaluation of the supplementary benefits so granted.
In addition, the amounts paid under this plan are inalienable and unseizable. However, they are unseizable only up to 50 % in the case of partition of the family patrimony between spouses, the payment of support or the payment of a compensatory allowance.
An order under the first or second paragraph may have effect 12 months or less before it is made.
