text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]During the recent round of Collective Bargaining, SEIU and Circle of Care negotiated a voluntary Group TFSA\/RRSP available to our PSWs and Homemakers.<\/p>\n<h3>Who is eligible?<\/h3>\n<p>You can join once you&#8217;ve completed 12 months of continuous employment with Circle of Care.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I have to participate?<\/h3>\n<p>No, participation is voluntary, meaning that if you are eligible, you can choose whether you participate or not.<\/p>\n<h3>Why should I participate?<\/h3>\n<p>In Canada, many people get retirement income from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS). But this money is often not enough to live on comfortably. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to have your own savings. Right now, many Canadians are not saving enough for retirement.<\/p>\n<p>Our program makes it easy to save by taking money right from your pay. This helps you build your savings over time. It\u2019s never too early or too late to start. Even small amounts can grow into a lot if you save regularly. We encourage you to join the program and start building your future.<\/p>\n<h3>How does the program work?<\/h3>\n<p>The program is a matching program, meaning that for every dollar you contribute, Circle of Care will match it with a dollar of their own, up to the maximum amount. If you don&#8217;t contribute any money, Circle of Care won&#8217;t either, but if you put in the maximum amount, Circle of Care will match that too.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the maximum amount that Circle of Care will match?<\/h3>\n<p>The maximum annual matching limit is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$450.00 for <b><u>full time<\/u><\/b>\u00a0employees<\/li>\n<li>$300.00 for <b><u>part-time<\/u><\/b> employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is a combined amount for TSFA and\/or RRSP.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I decide how funds should be split between my TFSA and RRSP?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can choose how the funds should be deposited. You can choose for it to go into your RRSP, TFSA, or a combination of both.<\/p>\n<h3>What is a Group RRSP?<\/h3>\n<p>A Group RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan) is a retirement savings plan you get through your workplace. Money is taken from your pay and put into the plan before your taxes are calculated. This can lower your income and help you pay less tax each payday.<\/p>\n<h3>What is a Group TFSA?<\/h3>\n<p>A Group TFSA (Tax-Free Savings Account) is a savings plan through your workplace. The money you earn in it is not taxed, and you can take money out without paying tax. It can help you save for both short-term and long-term goals.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the difference between an RRSP and a TFSA?<\/h3>\n<p>The main difference is when you pay tax.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>RRSP: You put money in before tax. This lowers your taxable income now, so you pay less tax today. But when you take the money out later, you pay tax on it.<\/li>\n<li>TFSA: You put money in after tax. You don\u2019t get a tax break now, but when you take the money out later, it\u2019s completely tax-free.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3>How do I sign up for the Group TFSA\/RRSP?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\">You can download a copy of the PSW\/HM Group Plan Package Booklet for more information below.<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=&#8221;large&#8221; button_style=&#8221;regular&#8221; button_color_2=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;Group Savings Plan Member Booklet&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/psw.circleofcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Circle-of-Care-PSW-Group-Plan-Member-Booklet-Apr-2026.pdf&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\">\n<p>You can also make an appointment to speak with our dedicated RBC Group Advantage Advisor team using the link below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=&#8221;large&#8221; button_style=&#8221;regular&#8221; button_color_2=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;Book an Appointment&#8221; url=&#8221;http:\/\/feedback.achievers.com\/PollPopupContent.php?short_link=UgsE2la.c8&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h3>Who should I contact with questions?<\/h3>\n<p>If you have any\u00a0questions about RBC Group TFSA\/RRSP, please make an appointment with the dedicated RBC Group Advantage Advisor team or contact Member Support Line at 1-888-769-2566.<br \/>\nRBC Relationship Manager: Lucas Bosnjak, <a href=\"mailto:lucas.bosnjak@rbc.com\">lucas.bosnjak@rbc.com<\/a>, 647-241-2047.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#00aeef&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;5%&#8221; constrain_group_1=&#8221;yes&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;5%&#8221; text_color=&#8221;light&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; row_position_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; advanced_gradient_angle=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":26,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13085","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/psw.circleofcare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13085","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/psw.circleofcare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/psw.circleofcare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psw.circleofcare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psw.circleofcare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13085"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/psw.circleofcare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13085\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13097,"href":"https:\/\/psw.circleofcare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13085\/revisions\/13097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/psw.circleofcare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
