Are Pension Plan Administrators required to submit an AIR through one of the new electronic filing methods?
No. FSCO’s new electronic filing methods are optional. All Pension Plan Administrators will be sent the prescribed AIR form in paper format. Defined contribution pension plans will receive the AIR form three months prior to their filing due date and defined benefit pension plans will receive the AIR form six months prior to their filing due date. If a Pension Plan Administrator chooses to file the AIR in paper format, there are no changes to the submission process.
