Retirement Seminar

On November 7 & 8 there will be a retirement seminar in the Philadelphia Crew Rooms B-6 and A West. We will have representatives from the PBGC, as well as our Benefits Chairperson Paul Frishkorn, available to answer your questions and to address your concerns. The following are some of the items that will be discussed: 

• When and how to obtain your retirement estimate 
• Explanation of Social Security offset and how it applies to your monthly retirement 
• Explanation of each payment plan and how to choose which one is right for you 
• The Health Care Tax Credit - who qualifies and how it is applied 
• How to choose a retirement date that will eliminate a long wait for your first monthly check 
• How divorce/remarriage/death of a spouse affects your PBGC pension 
• How to appeal a PBGC decision 
• Retirement Planning options and your 401K 

We believe this seminar is going to be an invaluable tool for us and we urge you to attend if your schedule permits. The sessions are scheduled for the following dates and times:
