APPLYING FOR YOUR PENSION
People are often surprised at the length of time it can take to process a pension. Unlike the Social
Security Administration or a single company pension office that has all necessary information on hand, we must rely on outside sources for much of our information.
As you approach retirement age, you should contact the Pension Department at the Benefits Fund Office about a year prior to retirement.
If for some reason your plans change and you are ready to leave your employment sooner than you had expected, we offer a "Temporary Estimated Pension.” This allows you to receive a benefit within four to six weeks of your last day of work. The temporary benefit is based just on the information that we have on hand at the time. When your application is fully processed, we will pay any additional benefits that you are due back to your retirement date.
What Information Must I Provide
The application package includes several forms for you to complete:
Processing of Your Application
It’s a good idea to contact the Pension Department soon after you have sent your completed forms to be sure we received them. After that, we will get in touch with you should further information be needed.
Forms are available on-line at Forms and Publications or by calling the Benefits Fund Office.
Send completed forms and any other documentation to:
