Create a larger lifetime retirement income for yourself
life events
Your defined benefit pension from the CAAT Plan is the cornerstone of your retirement income. It will provide you with a lifetime of monthly pension payments after you retire. Even though your pension is calculated using a fixed formula, there is a way to increase the amount of pension you receive by making a purchase.
You can make a purchase and grow your CAAT pension if you were contributing to a registered pension plan with a previous employer. You may be able to make a purchase in respect of that membership. You can also make a purchase for an unpaid leave of absence or statutory leave, while you are a member, or even periods you worked for your current employer before you enrolled in the CAAT Pension Plan. This is known as an ‘eligible period of purchase’.
