Stay informed about your pension

Find out how to keep in touch so you never miss an important update from the plan.

It may be some time before you’re ready to retire. But even if you’re just starting out in your career, it’s important for you to check in regularly with the plan.

When we’ll contact you

Every year, you’ll receive a Member’s Benefit Statement from the plan. If you are registered for My Account, you will receive an email notification when your statement is ready to view online. Otherwise, you'll receive a paper copy from your employer or in the mail.

Check your statement carefully every year to make sure your information is up to date. This includes your contact information, your spouse and any named beneficiaries.

Along with the Member’s Benefit Statement, you’ll also find the Report to Members. This report contains information about your plan, including a summary of the plan’s financial performance, plan rule changes and a message from plan trustees.
