Definitions

Bridge Benefit: an extra pension payable from the CAAT Pension Plan from early retirement date to age 65.

Bridge Benefit

1. Retire before age 65: a) Retirement to age 65

Lifetime pension + Bridge Benefit b) From age 65 onwards:

Lifetime pension2. Retire at age 65:

Lifetime pension3. Bridge Benefit formula:

0.7% x HAPE up to AYMPE x PensionableService

18

Bridge Benefit-Example

Member retires at age 60, HAPE =$68,000.00

Pension calculated:

$39,780 x 1.3% x 35 years= $18,099.90

$28,220 x 2% x 35 years= $19,754.00

Lifetime benefit= $37,853.90

Bridge ($39,780 x .7% x 35)= $ 9,746.10

Benefit to age 65 $47,600.00

19

Bridge Benefit-Example

Benefit to age 65 $47,600.00

At age 65 bridge drops off -$ 9,746.10

Lifetime benefit $37,853.90

Plus CPP (assumes maximum)$ 9,945.00

Normal Retirement Pension

Pension Formula (Lifetime Pension):

1.3% x Highest Average Pensionable Earnings up to the Average YMPE x Pensionable Service

plus

2.0% x Highest Average Pensionable Earnings over the Average YMPE x Pensionable Service

26

Normal Retirement PensionExample

Member enrolled February 1, 1980 Retired January 31, 2005 Pensionable Service (PS) = 25 years AYMPE = $39,780 Highest Average Pensionable Earnings =

$40,000 Highest Average Pensionable Earnings in

excess of AYMPE = $220 ($40,000-$39,780)

27

Normal Retirement PensionExample

Calculation:

1.3% x $39,780 x 25 years= $12,928.50

plus

2.0% x $220* x 25 years = $ 110.00

Annual pension from 65

for life $13,038.50

* $40,000-$39,780 = $220

28

Normal Retirement PensionExample Total annual retirement income:

CAAT Plan as above $13,038.50

Canada Pension Plan(CPP) $ 9,945.00

Old Age Security(OAS) $ 5,661.12

Total retirement income $28,644.62

Note: assumes entitlement to maximum benefit for CPP and OAS

29

Early Unreduced Retirement Pension

Conditions 85 Factor: sum of age plus Pensionable

Service equals 85 or 60/20 Rule: must be age 60 or more and

have 20 years of Pensionable Service

30

Early Unreduced Retirement Pension(Example 60/20 Rule)

Member retires in 2005 Age at retirement = 60 Pensionable Service at retirement = 20 Highest Average Pensionable Earnings =

$45,000 AYMPE in 2005 = $39,780 Highest Average Pensionable Earnings in excess

of AYMPE = $5,220 ($45,000-$39,780)

31


(Example 60/20 Rule)

Pension Calculation:

Annual Pension paid from age 60 for life:

1.3% x $39,780 x 20yrs PS = $ 10,342.80

plus:

2% x $5,220* x 20yrs PS = $ 2,088.00

Annual pension paid from

age 60 for life: $ 12,430.80

* $45,000-$39,080 = $5,220

32


(Example 60/20 Rule)

Annual pension paid up to age 65Annual pension paid fromage 60 for life: $12,430.80 Bridge Benefit paid to 650.7% x $39,780 x 20yrs PS= $ 5,569.20Annual pension to age 65 = $18,000.00Note: Individual may be entitled to CPP of as

much as $9,945.00 and OAS of $5,661.12 at age 65.

33

Early Reduced Pension

Member can choose to retire on an immediate early reduced pension on or after reaching the earlier of:

1) age 55 with at least 2 years of PS or Plan membership, or

2) age 50 to 54 with at least 20 years of PS If Member does not qualify for unreduced

pension then a reduction is applied

34


Reduction is permanent and is calculated as 3% multiplied by the number of years and part years retiring before the earliest point that Member would qualify for an unreduced pension: 85 Factor or 60/20 Rule or age 65

35


Member retires in 2005 Age at retirement = 53 Pensionable Service at retirement = 20 yrs Highest Average Pensionable Earnings =

$65,000 AYMPE in 2005 = $39,780 Highest Average Pensionable Earnings in

excess of AYMPE = $25,220 ($65,000-$39,780)

36


Member’s age plus service (53+20) = 73 Does not qualify for 85 Factor or 60/20 Rule Reduction Factor is lowest of:

age 65: 65-53 = 12yrs x 3% = 36% redn.

60/20 Rule: 60-53 = 7yrs x 3% = 21% redn.

85 Factor: (85-73)/2 = 6yrs x 3% = 18% redn.

37


Calculation:

1.3% x $39,780 x 20yrs PS = $10,342.80

plus

2.0% x $25,220* x 20yrs PS = $10,088.00

Total $20,430.80

Early Retirement Reduction (18%) $ -3,677.54

Annual pension from age 53 $16,753.26

* $65,000 - $39,780 = $25,220

38


Annual pension from age 53 $16,753.26

plus Bridge Benefit to age 65

0.7% x $39,780 x 20yrs PS = $ 5,569.20

Early Retirement Reduction 18% = $-1,002.46

Bridge Benefit paid to age 65 = $ 4,566.74

Annual pension paid to age 65 = $21,320.00

Note: Individual may be entitled to CPP of as much as $9,945.00 and OAS of $5,661.12 at age 65.

39

Deferred Pension

Entitled if you have at least two years of Pensionable Service

Payable at age 65 Payable on reduced basis on or after age 55 Reduction is 5% for each full year, prorated

for each part year before age 65

40

Deferred Pension(Example)

Member terminates in 2005 Age at termination = 47 Requests pension at age 60 Pensionable Service at termination = 8 yrs. Highest Average Pensionable Earnings = $37,000 AYMPE in 2005 = $39,780 Early Retirement Reduction at age 60 = 25%

(5% x (65-60))

41


Pension payable from 60:

1.3% x $37,000 x 8yrs. PS = $3,848.00

Early Retirement Reduction (25%) $ -962.00

Annual pension from age 60 for life = $2,886.00

42


Annual pension from age 60 for life = $2,886.00

plus Bridge Benefit to age 65:

0.7% x $37,000 x 8yrs. PS = $2,072.00

Early Retirement Reduction(25%) = $ -518.00
