It’s never too early to start thinking about when to retire. And with HOOPP’s early retirement options, your next chapter may be just around the corner.  

If you choose to retire before age 65, you will receive a monthly bridge benefit in addition to your HOOPP retirement pension. The bridge benefit is temporary; it is paid until you reach age 65. 

You can retire as early as age 55, usually with a reduction in your pension. Your pension is reduced if you start collecting it at a younger age because you will probably receive it for a longer time. If you have 30 years of eligibility service or have reached age 60, your pension will not be reduced.
