Do you need to change your mailing address, name or date of birth?
Your personal information is provided to OTIP by your school board/employer. You will need to contact them to update your information if it changes. You will not be able to update your new address, name change, or date of birth in My Benefits or My Claims. It can take up to 10-20 business days from the date you notify your board before these changes are shared with OTIP and reflected in My Benefits and My Claims.
NOTE: My Benefits and My Claims are offered through two different systems. To update your preferred email address, you will need to change your email in both My Benefits and My Claims.
