Info

Members on an employer-approved health leave who are totally and permanently disabled may apply for a HOOPP disability pension at any time; they do not have to wait until the end of the 15 week qualifying period. If a member indicates that they are interested in applying for a disability pension before the end of the 15-week qualifying period or requests any information about HOOPP’s disability benefits please ask them to contact HOOPP directly.

(tick) Submit the information to HOOPP. Health leaves should be reported to HOOPP once a member has been on a health leave for 30 days.

(tick) If the member returns to work or the health leave is interrupted report these changes to HOOPP in a timely manner.

Step B: Contributions

(tick) Place member on an employer-approved health leave

(tick) Deduct contributions for the first 15 weeks of the health leave

(tick) Stop deducting contributions after the 15 week qualifying period if the member is approved for free accrual by HOOPP

During the 15 week qualifying period members must make contributions on any employment earnings they received from your organization. Employers must also make contributions at the prevailing employer contribution rates. Any contributions the member makes during the health leave will be reported at year end to HOOPP as part of HOOPP's annual member data collection process.
