Your benefits statement at AG Employee Benefits


You recently received from AG Employee Benefits a communication with an overview of your pension plan. You can find more details about this below.

Did you already receive a benefits statement?

It is possible that you already received one or more benefits statements this year, with different status dates. The benefits statement with status date 1 January is legally mandatory. Going forward, we will provide you annually a benefits statement which reflects your status on 1 January. This benefits statement is a legal obligation and will allow you to easily compare the figures with the information on the government website.


 

How can you check when the figures were calculated?

Just take a look at your benefits statement. At the top of Section One, you’ll see "Status on xx/xx/xxxx", in bold.

If this date is not 1 January, it means that the figures on your benefits statement were calculated at a later date, based on the information applicable at that time.

For the most accurate view of where you currently stand, it’s best to refer to the statement with the most recent status date. Alternatively, you can wait until 28 September and check out our brand new online application. More details will follow soon.

What’s the difference between the status and the recalculation date?

The status date refers to when the figures were calculated. Insurers are legally required to issue statements reflecting plan participant status on 1 January. On the federal government's pension website, the status date is always 1 January. This means that the figures on your statutory benefit statement will always reflect your status on 1 January of the year in question.

Not sure where to find your status date? It's at the top of Section One of your benefits statement, in bold.

The recalculation date refers to the data used to make the calculations. In most cases, this date is the same as the status date, as we generally integrate new salary information in our calculations on 1 January. Some pension plans, however, specifically mention a different recalculation date in their regulations. If there have been changes after 1 January that impact your pension entitlements, such as a salary increase, the figures on the recalculation date and the status date won't match.
