Supplemental Plan (Police, firefighters, paramedics)
The OMERS Act, 2006 required that a Supplemental Plan was developed to offer optional benefits for members of the police sector, firefighters and paramedics by July 1, 2008. An employer may offer a benefit to a specific class or classes of employees. Supplemental benefits will “top up” the pension that a member already earns in OMERS Primary Plan.

Supplemental Plan benefits are not automatically provided. Employers can set up Supplemental Plan coverage for a class or classes of members in the police sector, firefighters and paramedics.
