Submit Pension Application to the Plan Office

To be entitled to a Pension or any other benefit under the Plan you must file an application with the Plan Office. You may contact the Plan Office and request that a Pension application form and package be sent to you. As noted above, you may want to file your application at least four months before you wish to retire. That will give the Plan Office time to process your application and obtain all the necessary information. As part of the application process you should submit at least the following to the Plan Office.

• your intended retirement date;
• proof of your age (birth certificate), and that of your Spouse if you are married;
• your social security number, and if married, your spouse's social security number;
• proof of marriage, if applicable (marriage certificate);
• Court-approved copy of Final Judgment in your divorce action, if applicable, including any settlement agreement or other pertinent divorce papers;
• military discharge papers, if applicable;
• wage and employment history information;
• if you seek a disability pension proof of your Social Security disability award.

The Plan Office will notify you when your application is approved.
