Remittance Forms – Pension and Group Benefits
Please download, complete and print your remittance form to send with your cheque in the mail. If you have a member, the Member ID must be included. If there is no member at your congregation, just leave this section blank. Remittances are required each month. We are happy to accept post-dated cheques. A reminder that cheques cannot include funds meant for Presbyterians Sharing or Health & Dental payments – which require separate cheques and remittance forms/invoices be sent. If you would like to save on postage costs, cheques and forms can be mailed in the same envelope.
