Dear Municipal plan members,

If you haven’t visited the new website, signed up for or recently used My Account, find out what all the excitement is about.

Designed with your needs in mind, your plan’s website is organized by topic and task—with varying levels of information so you can access the amount of detail you want.

1. Learn about a topic, e.g., nominating a beneficiary
2. Find out what you need to do, e.g., nominating or changing a beneficiary before retiring
3. Complete a task by using an online tool or completing a form, e.g., completing and submitting information to nominate or change a beneficiary
