When You Don't Contribute
Normally, Plan members continue to contribute to HOOPP until they terminate membership in HOOPP, retire, or die.
HOOPP allows you to choose to stop contributing to the Plan in two different situations:
- at the point you switch to part-time work from full-time work
- if you become employed full time at one employer and part time at others - you can choose to stop making contributions at your part-time employer(s)
You can do this by completing a Contribution Status Change Form at your part-time employers.
You may choose to not contribute on certain leave, depending on the type of leave. Visit the Leaves section for details.
Note
If you choose to stop contributing, you do not build any contributory service, a key component of your pension. The more contributory service you have, the greater your pension will be.
