Family Changes

There is nothing so constant as change. When you experience a personal change, it’s a good idea to let HOOPP know.

Marriage after retirement

If you acquire a new spouse after retirement, you may be able to provide him or her with a HOOPP spousal pension – at your expense. Some conditions apply - find out more about this option.

If you are changing your name as a result, please use a Pensioner Change of Information form

Changing beneficiaries

Your qualifying spouse is, by law, your primary beneficiary for HOOPP benefits, unless a waiver is signed. After you retire, your surviving qualifying spouse remains first in line for any benefits payable upon your death.
