Member statement

Your annual statement shows how the pension formula applies to your individual circumstances. Pension regulations require that members receive an annual statement that details the pension they earned up to the end of the last calendar year. To help you plan for your future CAAT includes details such as your estimated retirement dates and annual pension you’ll receive at retirement.

Over time, you can track how your pension grows. You'll be able to see at a glance the pension you have earned to the end of the previous year, and your projected earliest retirement dates. For members with access, this information is pre-populated in the pension estimator on My Pension. Or if your employer joined through a merger, you can create a customized picture of your future using the DBplus pension estimator to view your estimated pension at any retirement date or age you choose. The estimators are designed to help you plan your future with confidence.

Your employer provides the Plan with payroll data such as your earnings, breaks in employment and purchases for the previous year.

After we have received all the required information, the statements are generated.

My Pension gives you online access to your statement. If you select “online” as your preferred method of communication, you’ll receive an email as soon as your statement is produced.

Your statement will be delivered by mail during the month of June if your employer joined through a merger or you selected “mail” as your preferred method of communication.

I received a paper statement in the mail even though I am a portal user who opted for online.

Statements are printed based on each member’s preference. If, on the day they were printed, you had not yet selected online statements, you will receive a printed version.

No matter what, your statement is also available on My Pension for you to access at any time.

Be sure to log in to My Pension to see your statement and confirm that your settings are set to receive communications from CAAT online.

Each employer transmits member information to the Plan over a secure network. It is stored in a password-protected database, which can only be accessed by the CAAT Plan staff members who process and verify the data.

Paper statements are delivered to members in a lined envelope for added security, and for users of My Pension, statements are securely stored there.

Take a close look at your statement to make sure that the information it contains matches your records. You can use My Pension to update the address and contact information CAAT has on file. If your employer joined CAAT through a merger, a change of information form was mailed with your Annual Statement. Notify your employer if there are any changes to be made to your personal information as well.

Your statements are important financial documents and, as such, should be kept in a safe location. If you have a My Pension account, your statement will be stored there, and you can read it any time.

In early 2021, CAAT launched My Pension, an online portal that gives some members access to their pension information.

My Pension accesses member data stored in CAAT’s secure pension database. If your employer joined CAAT through a merger, your pension is being managed by a trusted administration partner that keeps your personal information secure. At this time, My Pension is not set up to access data stored with our administration partners. 

Check the list of employers that joined CAAT through a merger. If your employer is listed, you do not have access to your personal pension information in CAAT’s online portal.

While this feature is not currently available for merger employers, you have access to all the other resources and support CAAT offers. The Member section of our website has a wide variety of pension information to help you confidently plan for your future.
