This plan is administered by OTIP.

 

Who is eligible

 

Eligibility for the OECTA OT Benefits Plan is based on the number of days of occasional teacher work you completed for by the TCDSB during the previous school year.

The TCDSB provides a list of all eligible teachers to OTIP in July.

If you are eligible, you will receive an email invitation from OTIP in August/September.

Once you complete your enrolment:

  • Your coverage is retroactive to September 1.
  • Eligible claims incurred on or after September 1 can be submitted online starting on September 1.
  • A new benefits card will be mailed to you.

NOTE: You cannot make changes to your coverage after the enrolment period even with a life event (e.g. marriage, common-law, divorce, birth of a child, adoption).
