1 Making the Best Choice for Your Future Survivor Pension Options How does the death of my pension partner affect my pension benefits? What options do I have? And what action must I take next in order to receive my benefits from the Local Authorities Pension Plan (LAPP)? These are likely some of the difficult questions you are asking yourself during what can be a stressful time. Perhaps you do not want to concern yourself with financial planning right now. But within the next 90 days you should set time aside to make your benefit choice. This information sheet will help you answer some of the pension questions you ll face in coming weeks. Take time to read the information with care. By all means contact your pension plan s employer or LAPP s pension administrator, Alberta Pensions Services Corporation (APS) at LAPP (5277) if you would like pension counselling. You cannot change your benefit choice once it has been selected and payment has been made. What are my benefit options? There are two ways in which you can receive your payment: 1 a one-time lump-sum payment, or 2 a monthly pension. 1. One-time payment You will receive the commuted value* of the benefit your pension partner earned. This amount must be placed in a Locked-In Retirement Account (LIRA). A LIRA is a special type of RRSP designed to hold locked-in pension funds. As the pension partner of a deceased member, you may convert your LIRA account into a lifetime pension benefit and begin to receive payments at any time. * Commuted value is the amount of money that must be invested today to pay for the benefit that would have been paid to your pension partner at a later date In any case, you must begin to receive payments from your LIRA before the end of the year in which you turn 71. For more information on LIRAs, see the Transfer of Pension Funds to a LIRA Information Sheet, enclosed. As well, contact your bank or trust company for further information. Income tax is not withheld on pension funds transferred to a LIRA. When you choose a one-time payment, you receive no other benefits from the pension plan. 2. Monthly Pension Options There are a number of options for you to choose from when you select a monthly pension. All options are paid for your lifetime but offer different types of death benefits payable to your beneficiary on your death. If you choose an option that provides a longer guarantee period, your monthly pension will be lower. Small pension payout If you qualify, your personalized information will show an amount as the Small Pension Payout. You only qualify if the amount of pension payable to you is lower than an amount established annually under LAPP rules. The Small Pension Payout is the value of the pension paid as a single payment. It can be paid directly to you by cheque (income tax will be withheld), or transferred to your non-locked in RRSP (income tax will not be withheld). If you choose the Small Pension Payout, you no longer have the right to receive a lifetime pension. Single Life Pension A single life pension is paid for your lifetime and stops at the time of your death. No payments will be made to a beneficiary or your estate after your death. 808LA/1 February 2010
2 Guaranteed Term Pensions A guaranteed term pension is one that is paid for your lifetime. If you die before the guaranteed period of time has expired, the pension will be paid to your beneficiary or estate until the guaranteed term ends. You can choose a five, ten or 15 year guaranteed term pension. The longer a guaranteed period, the lower your monthly pension payment. The difference between the amounts paid under each option is due to the difference in the length of the payment guarantee. Coordinating your pension with OAS If you are under 65, your pension option package may show additional options as coordination elections. Basically, the coordination election is a way for you to increase the amount of your pension before you are 65, but the pension will be decreased after age 65. The increase is based on the full amount of Old Age Security (OAS) payments available at age 65 from the federal government. If you select one of the Joint Life or Guaranteed Term Options, the coordination of your pension will stop when you die. Before age 65: If you die before you are 65, the pension will revert to the pension choice you originally selected, without any increase for coordination. After age 65: If you die after age 65, the pension reduction that began when you turned 65 will end. The pension will revert to the pension choice you originally selected, without any increase for coordination. If you qualify for the coordination election, your pension choice package will include an information sheet called Coordinating your Pension. Please read this information very carefully before you decide to coordinate your pension. Note: The reduction to the pension will continue for as long as the pension is paid to you, regardless of how many years you were paid at the increased rate. Some people find it difficult to adjust to the reduced pension after they turn 65. The pension choice form When you ve reviewed all the options and made a decision, it s time to complete the Pension Partner s Choice form, attached. Please make a copy of the completed form for your records, and return the original, along with any requested documentation to your pension partner s employer. The employer will coordinate the flow of documents to APS. Return your completed pension choice form to APS by the due date shown on the Beneficiary Options Package. Here are some guidelines for filling out the Pension Partner s Choice form: Part A Print your social insurance number, reference number, and name. Part B Based on your choice, put an X in either the monthly pension payment box or the one-time payment box. When you select the one-time payment you need to complete the Transfer Pension Partner s Benefit to a Locked-In Retirement Account (LIRA) form, enclosed. Part C Do you want to coordinate your LAPP with your Old Age Security payments? If so, mark an X in the appropriate box in this section. Remember, you must be under age 65 to be eligible for pension coordination. Also remember that the payment will be lower after 65 than before 65, and the lower pension will be paid for the rest of your life. Part D If you select a guaranteed term pension, you will need to name a beneficiary. You can name as many beneficiaries as you like. If no beneficiary is named, the pension will automatically go to your estate following your death. Part E Complete this section to show where your pension payments are to be deposited. Your financial institution can provide the bank number and bank transit number. If the payments are going into your chequing account, attach a blank cheque to the form and print the word void across it. Part F Now sign and date the form. 808LA/2 February 2010
3 Method of payment If you live in Canada, the pension payments are deposited into your account with your financial institution. Direct deposit works just like it sounds: your monthly pension payment is deposited directly into your account with a financial institution in Canada. Most chartered banks, trust companies, credit unions and Alberta Treasury Branches offer direct deposit as one of their services. You should make sure that your financial institution can receive the payment. You will be sent an opening statement containing information usually found on a cheque stub. If there is a change in the amount of your payment, or in your banking arrangements, you will be sent a statement showing the change. If you do not live in Canada, your cheque will be mailed each month. The cheque can be delayed during postal disruptions or if you do not give APS your new address as soon as it changes. Your tax status The receipt of a monthly pension benefit may affect your personal income tax situation. Fill out the enclosed TD1 Personal Tax Credit Return form. Address Changes If you move, let us know your new address. This will help us to keep you up to date and so you can avoid unnecessary delays in filing your income tax. Return all completed forms to your pension partner s former employer or send them to: LAPP c/o Alberta Pensions Services Corporation 5103 Windermere Blvd. SW Edmonton, AB T6W 0S9 Alberta Pensions Services Corporation (APS) proudly serves LAPP and provides responsive and focused member service on behalf of the Plan. Feel free to contact APS through the Member Services Centre if you have questions or need assistance with completing the forms.
