Note: Clarification of the power of attorney and needs of Great West Life from Human Resources, University of Waterloo:
In the Winter WATtimes, incorrect information regarding Great West Life and type of your Power of Attorney required appeared. The proper information follows:
The types of acceptable Power of Attorney’s for Great West Life are property POA’s and general POA’s, which allows for the appointed attorney(s) to make decisions on the plan members’ behalf, including the administration of the benefits plan and payments of benefits. Personal POA’s are not acceptable for these purposes.
New pension and benefits information can be found at this site which includes actuarial reports and plan documents.
If the aims and objectives of the association, the role of the members of the board and possibly the by-laws are of interest to you, they can be found at UWRA Constitution and UWRA by-laws.
The Board of Governors approved a number of recommendations that affect the university’s pension plan and benefit offerings in October, 2013. To find out more about the ammendments and changes approved by the Board of Governors, visit the pension changes site.
