Pension Overviews
Planning for retirement can be a complicated process, with lots of big decisions to make. That's why your Pension Fund helps you all the way through the process, from deciding on a retirement date to collecting your first pension check.
At least six months before you retire, make an appointment with one of your Fund's Pension Counselors. Your Counselor can help you fill out your pension application to make sure it's complete and accurate, provide you with an estimate of your benefits and review the different options with you.
Your Counselor will also explain any other benefits you may be entitled to, like health coverage, life insurance and burial. And he or she can refer you to additional retirement resources like the Social Security Administration (SSA) and Medicare.
