Renewals Don’t Have to
Be Complicated
We’re constantly striving to demonstrate
excellence in how we deliver benefits. We know
that navigating through important dates, even
with constant reminders, can feel like a job in
and of itself — life can be demanding and the
effort to keep things simple cannot be overstated.
Thankfully, with ARTA’s annual benefits renewal,
simple is the name of the game as everything takes
care of itself—automatically!
Renewing Your Benefits
Every November 1, your ARTA retiree benefits
automatically renew. There’s really very little for
you to do. By the end of September, we’ll send you
a package in the mail, outlining all of the updates
being made to your benefits for November 1. All
you have to do is read it! There’s no mailing of any
paperwork (unless you want to make changes) or
any calls you have to make — we handle everything
for you. A simple renewal process is just one of the
many ways ARTA makes it easy to manage your
retiree benefits.
Making Changes
Speaking of making things easy, if after reviewing
your renewal package you decide to make some
changes to your benefits, you’re in luck because that
process is pretty simple, too!
If you’re enrolled in our Supplemental Travel
coverage for trips longer than 92 days, you’ll
receive a Change Application for Travel Plans in
your 2019 ARTA Benefits Renewal Package. Just
complete this form and send it to us.
For other benefit plan changes and updating your
dependants, simply download a copy of the Change
Application for Health and Dental Plans from the
ARTA website, arta.net/forms, complete it, and
mail it to the address on the form.

Remember: For some benefit plans, you may
have to be enrolled for at least two years before
you can make certain changes (check the
change application for details).
Benefits of Being a Member
On top of all of the important information about
upcoming benefit changes, your renewal package
also includes some helpful promotional resources
to keep you informed of all of the other benefits
that come along with being an ARTA member. With
partners across the country, ARTA makes it truly
easy to take advantage of services, savings, and
support no matter where you are.
We’ve Got You Covered
So, while you wait for your renewal package to
arrive, sit back and relax knowing we’ve taken care
of everything on this end for you.
And remember, if you do have any questions
about anything in your renewal package, you can
always send our team of benefit plan coordinators
an email at arta@asebp.ca or give us a call at
1-855-444-ARTA (2782) — we’re always happy
to help. ●
