If there is a discrepancy between the data, information, calculations, estimates, statements or results obtained through this website and the actual benefit you will be entitled to receive as determined by the pension plan documents and Applicable Law and calculated when the benefit becomes payable, such actual benefit entitlement takes precedence over such data, information, calculations, estimates, statements or results. You should carefully review all the data, information, calculations, estimates, statements or results obtained through this website and report any errors or incorrect or missing information to Pension Corporation.

This website is not intended to provide you with specific financial, legal, investment, pension or tax advice. When considering your options with respect to your pension benefits, you may wish to consider obtaining independent financial and legal advice.
