Hospitals of Ontario Pension Plan
Members of CUPE Local 4800 belong to the Hospitals of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOP), a province-wide plan designed to provide a secure retirement to Ontario hospital workers. Changes to pension benefits are negotiated between the hospital unions and employers.

Our national public pension system

Retirement Calculators
How much of your Old Age Security payment will be "clawed back?" Is it worthwhile to take your CPP before age 65? Answers to these and other retirement questions can be found on the site of the Congress of Union Retirees of Canada (CURC).
