RTO/ERO MEMBERSHIP REPORT
Greetings to all District 3 members and a special welcome to
all new colleagues who have joined our ranks during the past
few months. We have moved away up to 1,147 members! We
look forward to a new and exciting year as we celebrate
Canada’s 150th anniversary. We welcome all newcomers to
our first meeting on October 3rd at the Legion Hall. You will be
contacted a week before to remind you.
We hope you enjoyed our forecasted “hot, dry summer” which
turned out to be a “cool, rainy summer”; however, we look
forward to Algoma’s “Autumn Colourama” which is always so
superb.
Enrolment packages are available at all meetings.

The Passing of a Member
The passing of a family member is a difficult time for all concerned. The best advice for a prospective Estate Executor is to consult with, and
accept the advice of, a qualified lawyer. Provincial laws are subject to change and may contain subtle phrasing beyond the knowledge of the
average person.
It is important that all members of RTO/ERO be aware of the following, in the event that they need to provide assistance to the
surviving family.
If the survivors themselves are not full members of RTO/ERO, they may not be aware that they may continue their coverage within the
RTO/ERO Health Plans.
If their existing policy indicates Couple or Family coverage, then the survivors could be eligible for Associate Membership, and therefore
continued RTO/ERO Health Plan Coverage.
This seamless transfer of membership would enable them to continue their existing coverage without the need for evidence of medical
insurability. This request should be made within sixty days of the passing of the member.
•
In order for survivors to continue with RTO/ERO Health Plan Benefits, the Executor needs to contact our Plan Administrator, Johnson Inc 1-
877-406-9007 and request that a document entitled “Continuation of Benefits Form” be mailed to him/her. This form will require the name of
the new Associate Member. For this membership, a single fee is paid once a year in December (prorated during applications at any other
time of the year). This form will also require the choice of the Health Plan(s) desired for continuation of coverage. Premiums are paid
monthly. This form along with a death certificate would then be mailed as per the instructions on the form.
•
If further information would be of assistance, then contact the RTO/ERO office at 1-800-361-9888 or 1-416-962-9463. You may also contact
our website at www.rto-ero.org.
Update from Provincial
An update to Provincial Policy will now allow District
Executives to initiate membership changes on behalf
of members. Instead of having to contact Provincial re
a change in address, email, etc, members are now
able to contact the local District 3 Executive.
The Executive will complete a Membership Change
form and submit it to Provincial.
To allow the Executive to advocate on your behalf, you
will need to provide proof of identity upon contact.
RTO/ERO has
eliminated the
designations of
“Full” and
“Associate”
memberships.
