Pension topics
What's important
The video underscores the importance of getting all the facts when making decisions that can impact an individual’s financial future in retirement – before those decisions are made.
Produced in collaboration with Defined benefit (DB) pension plans from across Canada.
Planning for your loved ones
Your OPTrust pension provides benefits for your survivors. If you identify who you want to receive those benefits, OPTrust can administer payment of your survivor’s benefits according to your wishes.
This short video explains who is eligible to receive your survivor benefits.
The early retirement bridge benefit
If you retire before age 65, the OPSEU Pension Plan provides you with a CPP bridge benefit until the month in which you turn 65.
The bridge benefit is truly that – a bridge for the gap between early retirement and the age you are eligible to begin receiving your full CPP pension. We encourage you to watch the video.
Buying pension service
Are you a new OPTrust member? Have you taken an unpaid leave of absence recently? If so, applying to buy back pension service in the Plan could be one of the best financial decisions you can make.
This short video explains how eligible periods of past service can increase the value of your pension.
