IWA Forest Industry Pension & LTD

WHO WE ARE

Established to support Canadian forestry workers and their families, the IWA–Forest Industry Pension and LTD Plans provide pension and disability benefits and rehabilitation services to members. The plans are jointly trusteed by union and industry appointees.

The IWA–Forest Industry Long Term Disability (LTD) Plan was created in 1982, and now serves over 8,600 members across western Canada.

Both plans are administered by the Plan Office, which manages plan assets and benefits. At the Plan Office, our members are our number one priority, and we take pride in offering exceptional service—whether we are dealing with members, participating employers, union locals or each other.

Forest Industry Disability Adjudication Services (FIDAS) provides services to review, approve, deny, and monitor disability claims for the IWA-Forest Industry LTD Plan. The FIDAS mission is to provide fair, timely and cost-effective adjudication of member’s claims for LTD benefits. A sub-committee of the LTD board of trustees oversees FIDAS.
