Where can I update my information?
First, sign into your HOOPP Connect account. Then, to update your information, scroll down to Tools, select Update my Personal Information and then select the tab that applies (e.g., contact information or spousal information).
I'm planning to retire and I'm using the Pension Estimator tool to look at different dates. Why is it showing me different amounts than my annual statement?
If you are currently contributing to HOOPP, both the Pension Estimator and annual statement assume you continue to earn service in the Plan up to your retirement date. However, the estimates are different because they use different assumptions to calculate your pension.
- Annual statement: On your annual statement, we use your average annualized earnings as of December 31 of the previous year to estimate your pension at key retirement dates.
- HOOPP Connect Pension Estimator: This tool gives you a better idea of what your pension could be because:
- It takes your earnings forward to estimate your average annualized earnings at your retirement date.
- It assumes the year’s maximum pensionable earnings will continue to increase until your retirement date.
I'm retired and receiving a HOOPP pension. Where can I see my payment details?
To see your pension payment details on HOOPP Connect, start by signing into your account. Near the top of the home page, your after-tax pension payment for the current month will be displayed under My Pension.
You can view your pension payment details on HOOPP Connect or on your annual statement. If you want more information (e.g., tax deductions), you can click the green Details button underneath your payment amount. There, under the Personal information tab, you can select Payment history to view details related to specific payment dates.
