(1) Pension Plan

 

 

 

 

 

·1 Increase to $90.00 per month per year of corporate service (past and future) and retro active to January 1, 2008 with no reduction for early retirement.

·2 Increase Bridged retirement amount to $32.00 retro active to January 1, 2008.

·3 Contingent Annuitant Methods with Pop-Up Feature" If your Contingent Annuitant dies before you, your pension will revert back to the full amount that would have been paid if you had not elected the option in the first place. If you elect a Contingent Annuitant method with this "pop-up" feature, your benefit will be subject to a small additional reduction.

If you have designated your spouse as your Contingent Annuitant and you are later divorced, you can have the option canceled and receive the full amount that would have been payable without an option. But, a divorce may require that the spouse remain designated as the Contingent Annuitant, which will prevent the operation of the "pop-up." (Retroactive to January 1, 2008)

·4 Same COLA Formula for current and future retirees as in the current Agreement retro active to January 1, 2008.
