OPTrust and the OMERS plan have entered into a new transfer agreement that gives eligible retired and inactive members a one-time opportunity to merge their pension benefits in the successor employer’s pension plan. If you were part of a divestment transaction and have a deferred pension or pension in pay with OPTrust and the OMERS plan, this may affect you.

Please note: HOOPP and OPB may enter into the transfer agreement at a later date. If they do, their eligible retired and inactive members will receive similar options as those included in this agreement.
