Form of Pension. The normal form of pension for a member without a spouse on the date of a retirement is a pension for that member’s lifetime, guaranteed for 10 years from the date it begins. The normal form of pension for a member with a qualifying spouse on the date of retirement is a 50% joint and survivor pension. This means that upon the death of a member, a 50% joint and survivor pension will be paid to an eligible spouse at no cost. The Pension Benefits Act requires that a 60% joint and survivor pension be provided. This, along with other optional forms of pension, will also be available for an actuarial cost under the UPP.
Form of Pension. For the purpose of defining the amount of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit in Section 2.1.2, the benefit is derived from a Single Life Annuity, the first payment of which is due on the first day of the calendar month which follows his Termination of Employment or, if later, the first day of the calendar month which follows the date he would attain age sixty(60) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this annuity shall be, in all cases, converted to and paid in the form of an Actuarial Equivalent single lump sum benefit on the first day of the calendar month following his Termination of Employment. Such payment shall be in full and complete discharge of all benefits payable to, or with respect to him under this Agreement including, but not limited to, all survivor benefits and all optional forms of benefit to which he or his spouse might otherwise have been entitled. The consent of a spouse, joint annuitant or beneficiary shall not be required before making the single lump sum payment herein described.
