Retirement may be years away. Your security starts now.

It may be difficult to imagine where you’ll be in 10, 15 or 20 years, but as an 1199SEIU member, you have the security of a defined benefit pension. This is a rare benefit, and it may be hard to appreciate what it means when you’re years away from retirement. But a defined monthly pension offers financial security, peace of mind and freedom when it’s time to retire.

As an 1199SEIU member, you can request a pension estimate every year to track how your benefit is growing. It’s easy to do. Learning more about your pension today ensures you’ll have more freedom tomorrow. And if you’ll be ready for retirement in the near future, now is the time to figure out what your 1199SEIU pension means for you!

How to get your pension estimate

Log into MyAccount. Once you’re logged in, go to the “My Pension” tab and choose “Request & Review Pension Estimate” from the dropdown menu. Then, click the “Request Pension Estimate” button and follow the on-screen instructions. That’s all there is to it.

Remember, this is only an estimate—it’s not your final benefit. Please contact the Pension Department if you believe there is missing wage and/or employment history when you review your information.
