In addition to saving paper, Lisa and 125,000 other iAccess Web users are helping the pension plan save money – as much as $300,000 a year in printing and postage costs. The savings are being used to enhance technology for future client services.

Member use of the secure website increased 29% last year and 61% of retiring members applied for their pensions online.
