Retirees
A New Chapter
If you have a defined benefit pension plan, get an up-to-date estimate of your pension and the income you can expect in retirement before you make the plunge. Many LIUNA affiliated pension plans require that you contact the Fund at least 3 months in advance of receiving benefits.
Check on your eligibility to continue your health coverage and/or apply for Medicare Part A and Part B to take care of your health in retirement. Call 1-800-MEDICARE or go to www.medicare.gov.
Check to see when you will be eligible for social security benefits and get a benefits estimate by contacting the Social Security Administration in advance of your retirement. To get benefits, you must file an application three months prior to retiring. 1-800-772-1213 or visit www.SSA.gov.
Contact your Local 1095 to maintain your union membership, connect with the retiree council, and get the contact information for your benefit fund. Call us at 210-805-8326.
