The Plan Plan Features Disability benefits

If you are unable to work for health reasons, HOOPP offers disability benefits that can help you focus on your health while still building financial security for the future. These benefits are a valuable feature of your pension, offered at no cost to you or your employer.

Depending on your situation, HOOPP offers two types of disability benefits: 

  • Free accrual. This benefit allows you to continue building service in the Plan without making contributions. During a period of free accrual, you and your employer both pause contributions, but your pension continues to grow as though you are still working.

  • Disability pension. If you are permanently unable to work, HOOPP also offers an option to retire right away (even if you are under age 55) and start a disability pension immediately, without early retirement adjustments.
