Getting Started

You have two ways to request a cost to buy service:

1) Use the Buy-back Calculator on the myOMERS secure member site.

The Buy-back Calculator produces a personalized buy-back package (saved on myOMERS for 6 months). The package includes:

  • a summary showing the cost to buy the service
  • the resulting increase in pension
  • payment options
  • instructions and forms for the service purchase.

The buy-back package is valid for 6 months. After 6 months, the cost expires. If you still wish to buy service, you can use the Buy-back Calculator to get a new buy-back package which would again be valid for 6 months.

2) Phone OMERS Client Services.

The OMERS Client Services representative will confirm your identity, and then help with the request for a buy-back package. The package will be sent by mail, and an electronic copy is saved in your myOMERS account if you have a myOMERS account.

Tip!

To request a cost to buy service, use the Buy-back Calculator in myOMERS
