Transfer to an External RRIF

A Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) is a tax-deferred registered plan that pays out retirement income. It works exactly like when you Receive UBC FPP RRIF-Type Payments, however, the non locked-in funds in the FPP is transferred to an external financial institution.

You may use all, or part of, your non locked-in account balance to set up an income stream to meet your personal needs. The payments can be set up for any amount over the minimum applicable statutory minimum.

The minimum required amount of withdrawal is based on your age as of January 1st each calendar year. Alternatively, you may use your spouse’s lower age, if applicable, to determine the minimum payment required and potentially reduce your tax obligation.
