Plan updates

Funding for the ONE-T Benefit Plan comes from the Ontario government:

The Ontario government allocates funding per FTE to member groups

 

 ➤  

That budgeted amount of money/FTE goes to the individual School Boards

 

➤  

School Boards contribute the money to the Plan to fund your benefits

 

The Trustees have the responsibility to review the Plan and available funding each year and determine if there are opportunities to improve the Plan or if changes are required to ensure Plan sustainability.

It’s an important balancing act: evaluating the Plan’s financial position to make sure benefits remain affordable and sustainable.
