Your annual member’s statement
(2012-05-08)

If you are a member of RREGOP and the PPMP (in the education network and the public service) or the following plans: RPSO, TPP, CSSP, PPCT, RPCHCN, PPFEQ or the PPPOCS, you will receive the new annual statement by mail. Mailing will begin in May and continue until fall 2012. The statement, which provides detailed information about membership in your pension plan, is also a new tool to help in planning your retirement. It will make it easier for you to prepare for that important stage in your life.

The statement has several helpful features:

  • it is provided to members on a yearly basis;
  • the crucial information is on the first page;
  • the information is personalized.

A genuine reference document, it is user-friendly and very informative.

CARRA offers you various ways to familiarize yourself with the statement:

After you have read your statement, you are invited to respond to a short survey (online only) in order to give us your opinion of the clarity of the statement and its usefulness.

(2012-04-30)

CARRA has published updated versions of the following two forms:

A new version of the Buy-backs brochure is also available


How to facilitate processing of an application for buy-back

A member who submits an application for buy-back must:

  • complete all mandatory fields indicated by an asterisk (*);
  • send forms 727A and 728A together;
  • enclose attestations from all employers along with the supporting documents.

The absence of required information or supporting documents may increase processing time, as it will be necessary to return the forms to the member. To avoid that situation, CARRA has made a guide available to its clients, which provides helpful instructions for each of the forms, as well as a checklist in the "Application for buy-back" form.

Change to the mailing date of your cheque
(2012-04-13)

In order to speed up the payment and confirmation of pensions of new pensioners, whose numbers are steadily increasing, CARRA has revised the cheque production and mailing schedule.

CARRA wishes to advise those who receive their pension by cheque that, beginning July 15, 2012, their pension cheque will be mailed on the 15th of each month (or the preceding working day). Consequently, if you wish to continue receiving your pension by cheque, please allow several days for delivery. Note that the date as of which the cheque can be cashed, i.e. the 15th of each month, remains unchanged.


Direct deposit: a secure, confidential and eco-friendly choice

To ensure the automatic deposit of your pension on the 15th of each month and avoid the delays in having to cash your cheque, while promoting sustainable development, we suggest you sign up for direct deposit.
