Tax Time for Midwives returns February 8, 2023!

Over the course of the coming weeks, SSQ Insurance will send you an official communication about the change to Beneva.

We know you are busy, and perhaps the last thing you (and the environment) need is a process that requires you to print and/or scan hardcopy forms. With this in mind, we are delighted to share that staff plan members can now complete, sign, and submit key AOMBT documents and applications online. All you need is online access from your computer or mobile device.

Watch this demo video for a look at how to use the new online forms.

Changes to the AOMBT benefits plan come into effect October 1, 2022!

September 30 marks the 2nd National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to remember & reflect on the legacy of residential schools as well as honouring survivors. The AOMBT will be closed tomorrow to reflect on this history & learn more about the TRC's Calls to Action.

New to the AOMBT, or just wanting a refresher on your benefits plan? We're hosting a Benefits 101+ webinar for midwife plan members, updated for 2022 with information on the Wellness Spending Account and Rate Renewal.

This fall, we will once again be going through a rate renewal for our benefits plan. This is an annual occurrence, which last year meant we saw a 10% increase to our premiums. This year, we will experience a similar increase to premiums however, to keep this increase at 9%, we have had to make some significant modifications to our plan. Understandably, this is never ideal, but necessary to ensure that we maintain a sustainable plan.

In January 2020, our benefits carrier, SSQ Insurance, joined forces with La Capitale to become Beneva. A new name, but the same caring approach based on mutualist values that reflects SSQ's motto: People protecting people.

A key step in the transition to Beneva was completed in July, when they created the @beneva.ca domain name for their email addresses.
