1 Your Pension. Our Promise. OPB News For members of the PSPP April 2013 Get a breakdown of calculations on your Annual Pension Statement online in e-services Your 2012 Annual Pension Statement You may have noticed that your 2012 Annual Pension Statement looks a bit different than previous statements. This year, we ve made a few changes to make it easier for you to review your statement and to reduce duplication between the statement and our other online tools. Here are some highlights: non-personalized information is no longer on your statement (e.g., contribution formula); this information can be viewed on our website at or on the online guide available in e-services detailed calculations for your average annual salary and your pension before/after age 65 are available online using the Pension Estimator (click the figure online to see a detailed breakdown) See the enclosed quick reference sheet or see the online guide on how to view detailed calculations. reduced page count to a maximum of 2 pages (not applicable to Justices of the Peace statements) changed some design specifications to make it easier to read (i.e., all sans serif fonts) Did you know... you can view your Annual Pension Statement (APS) online? You told us... Here s what we learned from you in our recent client surveys: only four out of ten members surveyed knew that OPB provides online tools that help you plan for Retirement. As a member of the PSPP you have access to valuable online financial tools, such as OPB s Buyback Calculator, Pension Estimator, and the Retirement Planner. See Plan for your retirement on page 5 for more on the Retirement Planner. only six out of ten members knew that OPB provides the Pension Estimator, an online calculator that helps you forecast your PSPP pension. OPB s online Pension Estimator lets you run estimates for several different retirement dates and compare estimates. This may help you choose which retirement date will work the best for you, and the pension benefit you can expect at different earnings levels. See Get a real-time pension estimate on page 4 for more on the Pension Estimator. Call a client service representative to register for e-services today and start using OPB s online calculators and financial tools right away! OPB News April 2013 p.1

Here are some recent milestone achievements: OPB was granted a license to invest in China A-Shares, becoming one of only nine Canadian organizations to do so OPB made its first direct investment in infrastructure, investing in two United Kingdom gas-fired power stations OPB is acquiring ownership in 15 retail properties across Canada, as part of a bid for Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust For details about these and other recent activities, please visit our website and see What s new.

In the meantime, if you are separated from your legally married spouse and not divorced, and you also have a common-law spouse whom you want to receive a death benefit, be sure to list your commonlaw spouse as a Designated beneficiary for your PSPP survivor benefits.

Today... log in to e-services and forecast your PSPP pension in the comfort of your home. You can run estimates for several different retirement dates and compare estimates. The Pension Estimator shows you a graph and table that compares estimates, which can help you start thinking about which retirement date will work the best for you. With OPB s online Pension Estimator, you can get a real-time pension estimate anytime of the year. average annual salary pension before age 65 (if applicable) pension after age 65 estimated amounts (in dollars) for each survivor pension option Underlined figures in the online pension estimate indicate that you can click on the figure to see a detailed breakdown of how we calculate the amount. Once you ve created your pension estimate, you can use this estimate with OPB s online Retirement Planner to see how your PSPP pension fits into your overall retirement picture (see page 5). p.4 OPB News April 2013
5 How much you ll need in Retirement Find out with the online Retirement Planner Plan for your retirement The Retirement Planner takes retirement planning to a new level. You create a customized and comprehensive snapshot of your overall retirement picture, projecting your retirement income from all sources (including your PSPP pension, CPP and OAS, and your personal savings). The Retirement Planner helps you build on customized pension estimates you create using OPB s Pension Estimator (or from your Annual Pension Statement) to: create a snapshot of your overall retirement (including income from all sources) create different scenarios with the RRIF/LIF module by changing assumptions investigate tax impact when splitting your retirement income with the Income splitting module create an expense worksheet to understand your expenses in retirement Key features of the Retirement Planner include project your PSPP pension, CPP and OAS see your pension income before and after taxes see how your pension amounts change depending on your chosen retirement date CPP benefit you can choose when you wish to collect CPP (any time between age 60 to age 70, based on new CPP provisions) OAS the Planner will provide warning messages if you are within the clawback range for OAS Project other income streams (RRSP, TFSA, etc.) the Planner illustrates how changes in investment strategies impact your retirement income (you can choose conservative or aggressive investment assumptions) You can incorporate your spouse s income to get a true snapshot of your household retirement income Calculate projected expenses before and after retirement to determine income replacement ratio Tax planning the tool shows retirement income before and after taxes, and also provides an incomesplitting calculator to determine whether it is beneficial for spouses to income split. With the online Retirement Planner you can create different financial scenarios, investigate potential tax savings when splitting your retirement income with your spouse, and use the Expense Worksheet to help you calculate your retirement income needs to find out are you are saving enough? If you are retiring within the next 24 months If you are considering retiring within the next 24 months we recommend that you contact Client Services at or (toll-free in Canada & the U.S.A.) to speak to an advisor and receive a formal pension estimate. OPB News April 2013 p.5
6 Will a buyback impact your pension? Find out with the online Buyback Calculator Get a buyback estimate online OPB s online Buyback Calculator lets you create cost estimates to buy back pension credit for non-ops service and other service where your 24-month costing window has closed. With your buyback estimate you can see pension impact (in dollars) of buying back pension credit. To purchase prior OPS service inside your 24-month costing window, please contact OPB to get your buyback quote. Buying back pension credit can help you to: earn a larger PSPP pension, qualify to retire earlier than age 65 with an unreduced pension, and/or qualify to receive insured medical, dental and life insurance benefits during retirement. In the past... you would request a buyback estimate from OPB, wait for the estimate to be processed, and then wait for it to arrive in the mail. Today... log in to e-services and create a buyback estimate in the comfort of your home. The Buyback Calculator shows you how your pension is impacted by displaying pension estimates with purchase of the buyback period and without purchase, so you can think about whether buying back pension credit makes sense for you. You are not obligated to buy back the service for which you create an estimate, so you can create a buyback estimate anytime without any commitment to buy. With the online Buyback Calculator you ll be able to see how buying back pension credit will impact your pension, eligibility for insured benefits, and whether it will help you qualify to retire earlier than age 65 with an unreduced pension. When should you apply to buy back pension credit? It s best to apply as soon as you can. That s because for most eligible periods, the cost of buying pension credit increases over time sometimes significantly. We encourage all members interested in buying back an eligible period of past employment, to apply to buy back pension credit as early as possible. p.6 OPB News April 2013
7 How to start your pension Log in to e-services to Initiate Retirement online When you re ready to Retire Deciding when to retire is an important decision one that can affect the size of your monthly pension payments. As an active member of the PSPP, you can initiate retirement online within six months of your retirement date when you meet age and service requirements for a pension with the PSPP. In the past... you would meet with your Human Resources representative, wait for your termination to be processed, and then wait for confirmation documents to arrive in the mail. Today... you ll log in to e-services, use the online calculators and financial tools such as the Retirement Planner to plan for your retirement. When you re ready to retire, you can initiate retirement online to trigger the process with your employer. When you Initiate Retirement online, you ll see estimates for your pension amounts, whether you qualify for insured benefits and more, to help you decide which retirement date is best for you. When you initiate retirement online, you are presented with a Retirement Notice or Termination of Membership Form (OPB 1012) partially completed which you then print and take to your employer. OPB begins processing your retirement once we receive this form from your employer. Thereafter, you ll receive a Retirement Package in the mail. If you are not yet within six months of your retirement date, please visit our online Pension Estimator to see your retirement options and generate a pension estimate. For more information about retirement timelines and options, please read our booklet, Planning today for tomorrow, available on our website. Update your beneficiaries online It s a good idea to review your beneficiary designations from time to time to ensure they still reflect your wishes.

Today... log in to e-services to review your beneficiaries, and make changes to your beneficiaries immediately online. You don t need to fill out a long form, and you make changes as often as you need.

It s a great and easy way to ensure that your contact information on file with OPB is up-to-date.
