For active members, Basic Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) benefit premiums are paid for from negotiated funding from the Government and, therefore, are considered a taxable benefit and a T4A slip is issued. As the plan administrator of your OSSTF Benefits Plan, OTIP is working on issuing the T4As for the 2018 tax year (January 2018 to December 2018 ) and as previously communicated, has obtained Social Insurance Numbers from employers to issue these T4As.
We are pleased to advise that members can now elect to have their T4As posted securely online through the OTIP member site. OTIP is sending the communication below to allow members to choose this option if they want it. As indicated in this communication, if members wish to access their T4A slip online, they must complete the steps outlined by February 14, 2019 and the T4As will be posted and available on or after February 28, 2019.
For active members who do not choose this option or for members who are not active, T4As will be sent via Canada Post to the address that OTIP has on file.
To learn more about the T4A slip, members can visit the Help Centre (scroll down to Browse Questions by Product Category and select T4A Slip) on OTIP’s website under frequently asked questions, or they can contact OTIP Benefits Services at 1-866-783-6847.
To help you with your 2018 tax return, you can now access your OSSTF Benefits Employee Life and Health Trust (ELHT) T4A slip online, through OTIP’s secure member site.
If your Basic Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) benefit premiums are paid for by your ELHT, they are considered a taxable benefit and a T4A slip is issued. As the plan administrator of your OSSTF Benefits Plan, OTIP will issue your T4A slip.
The benefit amounts shown on your T4A slip are calculated based on the Basic Life and AD&D benefit premiums paid for you by the OSSTF Benefits ELHT, for the 2018 tax year (January to December).
Accessing your T4A slip online is quick, convenient and secure. You can print and re-print your T4A slip at any time!
