How your pension works

HOOPP is a defined benefit (DB) pension. This means the pension you receive in retirement is calculated using a formula based on your earnings and years of service in the Plan – and won’t be affected by the day-to-day ups and downs of the market.

You make contributions on the earnings you receive from your employer. For every dollar you contribute, your employer contributes $1.26 on your behalf. All contributions are invested in the HOOPP Fund and when you retire, you receive a monthly pension for the rest of your life. Learn more about how your pension works.

HOOPP offers more than a lifetime pension

No matter where you are in your stage of life or career, rest assured that you’ve taken an important step toward retirement security with HOOPP. Watch the video to learn how HOOPP is here to support you.
