MUNICIPAL PENSION PLAN

CHANGING INFORMATION WITH THE MPP

Signing up for the MPP “My Account” is an easy way to keep your banking, address, or tax information current with the Pension Board. Sign up today. You can easily access the MPP website through the “links” on our webpage.

BENEFICIARY INFORMATION

Members are reminded to keep beneficiary information current with the Municipal Pension Plan. Keeping this information up to date assists in reducing possible delays with survivor’s benefits where applicable. Information regarding death and death benefits, including steps to take when a member dies, is now available on the Municipal Pension Plan website.

DIGITAL OPTIONS FOR MEMBERS

New online forms/submission are now available with the MPP, including:

• Notifying Pension Corporation of the death of a member
• Claiming an interest in a plan member’s pension (in case of divorce or separation)
• Becoming a limited member

PENSION LIFE

Hard copies of many MPP products, including “Pension Life” are still available for members who have not chosen to opt-in to digital communication. Please note that once deciding to go paper free, members are unable to return to receiving physical copies.

CHANGES FOR RETIRED MEMBERS

The Municipal Plan Board of Trustees has approved the plan changes, effective January 1, 2022. These changes have no effect on the pension you are currently receiving. The MPRA has requested meaningful input into the trust and preferably have representation as a member of the group. An additional request was that we proposed that the trust membership be appointed by the Plan Partners and that the Group Health Benefits Trust report to the same body. We have not heard of any decisions in these regards.
