Changes to the Calculation of Commuted Values

January 1, 2023

Dear Plan Members and Beneficiaries of the ACAW Pension Plan

Changes made in 2018 to the Regulations to the Alberta Employment Pension Plans Act has allowed defined benefit pension plans that are a Collectively Bargained Multi-Employer Plan (CBMEP) to elect to have commuted values* of pension benefits determined in accordance with the actuarial assumptions used in the current actuarial valuation report multiplied by the lesser of 1 and the going concern funded ratio. More information about the changes to the Calculation of the Commuted Values can be found by clicking the link below.
