The University thrives because of our outstanding community members who have and continue to play an integral role in our institution’s growth and development.

Whether retirement is years away or just around the corner, our goal is to ensure our community has the information they need to make informed choices when planning for life after work. Our generous retirement packages offer our employees the ability to select a retirement path that best meets their diverse needs.

University Pension Plan (UPP)

The University of Toronto participates in the University Pension Plan (UPP) along with the University of Guelph and Queen’s University.

For updates, notices, and access to UPP information, please refer to University of Toronto Pension memos and myupp.ca.

Inactive Pension Members

Individuals who have retired and receive payments from the UPP or who no longer work at the U of T but still have a pension entitlement under the plan can access information about their current pension details by accessing the myUPP Member Portal. Here they can find additional information such as:

• What happens to the pension if a member or spouse passes away
• When T4A Tax Slips will be issued
• How to submit Power of Attorney documentation

Coverage for the University’s retiree benefits (extended healthcare, dental, etc.) is with GreenShield. If you have questions regarding the benefits coverage or need assistance accessing GreenShield’s plan member website, please contact GreenShield at 1-888-525-7587.
