Surplus timeline
BCTF Pensions 10If surplus confirmed with pension authorities…
The Joint Trust Agreement between Plan Partners applies these further improvements provided the member is “active on January 1, 2019”.
BCTF Pensions 11If surplus confirmed with pension authorities… Example 1:
Jo Park taught high school physics for 28 years and is considering a last day at work on June 30, retiring July 1, 2018. Will Jo’s pension have any further improvements as a result of the pension surplus? Answer: No. Jo’s pension = Old Plan + New Plan.
BCTF Pensions 12If surplus confirmed with pension authorities… Example 2:
Leslie Jaen taught grades 5, 6, and 7 for 24 years and is considering a last day at work on December 31, retiring January 1, 2019. Will Leslie’s pension have any further improvements as a result of the pension surplus? Answer: No. Leslie’s pension = Old Plan + New Plan.
BCTF Pensions 13If surplus confirmed with pension authorities… Example 3:
Chadi Ulm taught French for 24 years and is considering a last day at work on January 30, retiring February 1, 2019. Will Chadi’s pension have any further improvements as a result of the pension surplus? Answer: Yes. Chadi’s pension = Old Plan + New Plan with further improvements.
BCTF Pensions 14Since further improvements are pending and may influence retirement decisions, Partners have made the decision that the BCTF inform all Plan Members.
