WHO WE ARE

The Province of Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Government and General Employees Union (NSGEU) jointly established the Nova Scotia Public Service Long Term Disability Plan Trust Fund (the Fund) in 1985 to provide long-term disability benefits to the Province's public sector employees.  The Nova Scotia Public Service Long Term Disability Plan (the Plan) is managed and administered by a Board of Trustees appointed by the two Plan Sponsors.  The Plan is funded equally by employer and employee contributions.

​

Currently, 16 employers participate in the Plan, covering approximately 14,200 Plan members.
