Retirement Planning
Retirement is a big step for most teachers, which involves many decisions. While planning should begin several years before retirement, final preparations should begin at least six months in advance of your scheduled retirement date.
Remember, three months before your retirement date, contact the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP) at 416-226-2700 or 1-800-668-0105 to obtain a personalized pension application form.
Staff at the OECTA Provincial Office are available to help you find the answers you need. Call 1-800-268-7230 or email contact@catholicteachers.ca.

Retiree Health Benefits
Ontario Teachers' Insurance Plan is a non-profit organization directed by a Board of Trustees consisting of two representatives from each of the four education affiliates: AEFO, ETFO, OECTA and OSSTF.
As a non-profit trust, OTIP’s Retired Teachers Insurance Plan (RTIP) offers three comprehensive health care plans for retirees through Manulife Financial. Premiums are payable in the same month that coverage starts. You can apply for coverage through OTIP within 60 days of the date that any existing coverage through any group employee health plan ceases.
