Add a spouse or dependant(s) to your retirement health coverage

Send us a form to add your spouse and/or eligible dependant(s) to your extended health care and/or dental coverage after you start receiving your pension.

1. Complete the form online
2. Print, sign and date the form
3. Submit the form to the Municipal Retiree Benefit Trust

You can add your spouse and/or dependant(s) to your extended health and/or dental coverage through the Municipal Retiree Benefit Trust if they:

• Are a permanent resident of Canada
• Have medical coverage through a provincial health plan in the province where they live if they're applying for extended health care coverage
• Are joining the plan within 60 days of your retirement date, or you can provide proof they had continuous coverage in another plan
  • The continuous coverage must be stopped, and you need to enrol within 60 days of stopping that coverage
• Meet the eligibility requirements in the coverage booklet

If you have not yet applied to receive your pension, you can add your spouse and/or dependant(s) to your extended health and/or dental coverage as part of your application.
