Webinar Series

MEPP periodically offers a series of informative webinars to help members better understand their benefits. These webinars are open to all members, who can easily register for a session below. Members can join on their own or with other MEPP members in their workplace from their computer at home or work. The sessions cover a range of topics relevant to MEPP pensions. All that is needed is a computer with internet access and some audio equipment, such as speakers or a headset (or a telephone to call in and listen to the session). If attending a webinar isn't possible, members can contact their Human Resources or Payroll and Benefits area to arrange an in-person or virtual session for their workplace.

Whether a member is new to MEPP, midway through their career, or approaching retirement, this webinar is designed to guide them through important pension topics. Learn about lifetime pension payments, how combined pensionable service impacts members' future, and how to access pension estimates to better plan for retirement.

If a member is interested in boosting their retirement benefit without extending their career, this webinar will guide them through the process of buying back service, including leave of absence or past service buybacks, and explain the payment options available. Learn how purchasing additional service in the plan can enhance a member's future retirement benefits.

If a member is unsure about their options in the event of plan termination, early passing, or disability, this webinar will provide essential information on what to do if faced with any of these situations. It will help members understand their benefits and the steps they need to take to protect their pension.
