HOOPP Pension Portability
HOOPP Pension Portability
Few people stay with one employer for their entire working life. You may work for a number of HOOPP employers in the healthcare field as you build your career.
One of the advantages of being a HOOPP member is that your pension is portable. If you leave your job and go to work for another HOOPP employer, immediately or in the future, your pension can come with you!
There are more than 600 hospitals, family health teams, community health centres and other healthcare organizations in the Plan.
HOOPP members deliver healthcare across Ontario, from Kenora in the west to Cornwall in the east, and from Windsor in the south to Moosonee in the north. Check out the full list of HOOPP employers.
Buying back service
If you can't transfer your pension funds under MOPPs Portability Agreement, you may qualify to buy back service in HOOPP for the time you belonged to another registered pension plan. Learn more about Buying Back Service.
