IAIR is involved in a number of activities for its Members: Website, Annual newsletters, ID card processing, Membership support, Medical Manulife escalation support, Escalation with IATA, Manulife and ACS if any issues were not resolved directly, Information and updates on Pension issues, CFP, an annual AGM where people are briefed on the Pension Plan and other topics, In order to provide these services to Members, there are external costs and therefore a small membership is charged to defer these costs. All retirees are encouraged to pay this small membership fee so that these activities can continue.
Advice for Retiree Estate Executors
Please advise the three under-mentioned contacts about the death of a retiree.
1) ACS : Use the recommended address IATA Administration address. ACS will take care of informing RBC Dexia concerning pension payments. They will however not inform Manulife, and have requested that you inform Manulife directly.
We believe our members find our newsletters informative and useful.. They are written by Moira, our Membership Secretary and are well worth the read. You can find a link to the most recent one plus a few back numbershere.
When you move house, whatever else you may forget to do, please remember to
do the following three things, it is vital.
1. No matter where you live, please advise ACS of your new address, telephone number
and email address (if applicable) and banking
address (if applicable) and banking instittion and bank account number (if you have
direct deposit) so that they know where to send your pension.
2. If you participate in the retiree Medical scheme operated by Manulife, please
tell Manulife of your new address. The change of address should also be notified
to any health professional, including pharmacist, that stores your address and uses
it on receipts submitted to Manulife. If this is not done confusion within Manulife
may occur.
3. Please also send an email to our Membership Secretary, or write to IAIR. Our
objective is to be able to keep in touch with you.
Unfortunately, but inevitably, some of our members pass away. We thought this should
be recorded for the benefit of all who may wish to know. You can see a list of those
"No Shows"of whom we are aware since about 2003.
Members who would like to record a tribute to a deceased retiree should forward it
by email or letter to the webmaster or the President. and it will be included.
