ATTENTION ALL USW LOCAL 8782 RETIREES.
We have received this email from Morneau Shepell ( your pension administrators )
It has come to our attention that duplicate copies of the tax slips were mailed to the Stelco retirees in the Lake Erie Union Legacy and New Plans. Each retiree will receive the tax forms twice. In the vast majority of cases, the tax slips are identical and the retiree can use either one of the duplicate forms to file their tax return.
There are approximately 27 retirees in the Plans for whom an adjustment was done to the tax form prior to mailing. The original unadjusted form was inadvertently sent out in addition to the adjusted form when the duplicates forms were mailed. In these cases, the two tax slips are not identical. We will be reaching out by mail, to each of the retirees who received an adjusted tax form, to advise of the correct tax slip to use.
Terry Barnard will also be reaching out to the 27 retirees who have two different tax forms.
Please note that the correct information was provided to Canada Revenue Agency.
We apologize for any confusion this may cause.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL MORNEAU SHEPELL 1-844-650-2820
