Pension Confirmation Letters
Each year ATRF conducts a review to confirm that pensions are being paid appropriately to eligible retired teachers and/or their nominee. As the plan administrator and trustee, ATRF undertakes this process as part of our ongoing efforts to protect the assets of the plan for all members. Sending out confirmation letters helps us make sure the right pensions are paid to the intended recipient.
Pension Information Statements
Your Pension Information Statement summarizes your current pension details.
Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA)
Cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) are an inflation adjustment to your pension, based on the measure of the change in the Alberta Consumer Price Index (ACPI) monthly values reported by Statistics Canada.
These adjustments are effective each January and are applied to your ATRF pension (including the Advance & Reduction Option) before income tax is deducted.
