    I'm in DESPERATE need to pull everything regardless of the penalties from VRS. IM 46 and if I don't, well let's say I must. My question is have they changed a person's ability to pull out early? I have 21 years invested. My future RELIES on this. I have a VALIC retirement I e put into for near 20 years. I took a loan because I wasn't able to pull out early. The fact I couldn't with VALIC has me worried I will be out of luck with pulling from VRS. The stress of worrying i won't be aloud to cash out is killing me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. God I wish I had business sense.

    Pensions are a frigin scam, ya sure your employer doubles the amount but your monthly payment is stretched over a period more than likely you wont be alive and here in Canada you can only get 7% a year, Im paying 425 this month and my monthly payment estimator is 304 a month, I can guarentee now with this covid scam there are gonna screw you too if you dont take the jab because they will say you are more of a risk as they have already taken my job, I want my damn money to invest or go broke with on my accord not the govt! 800 combined effort gives me 304$ a month, oh boy sign me up NOT!!!!!

    Big mistake! Mine was small, 27k. I decided to reinvest it in crypto markets, I made a short gain, then everything went to crap with the market crash. I then got scammed by a crypto giveaway, lost more money. I threw away about 5k on a ebike with its accessories and it got stolen! Now, 6 months later, have little to nothing left! Don't cash out your retirement!

    That company owns that pension money, if you cash it out and roll it into a 401k or an IRA, now that money is in “Your Name” it belongs to you.

    Hello,
    So my dad's company got a "Lump Sum Pension Offer" to their employees because the company about to shut down in 2016. The deadline was Nov. 2016 to submit the forms that they offered.
    There were 3 options for him to choose from:
    1- Elect to receive a single lump-sum payment
    2- elect to start monthly benefit payment
    3- wait until later to begin receiving your pension
    At that time, he chooses option 3 and does nothing.
    Now 2021, he wants to rollover that pension $ to a Roth IRA or take the lump sum. Is it too late for that? If not, where was that pension $ go? because the company he worked not exist anymore so was the phone # for help assistance. Who do I contact to get help with this situation?

    Thanks for your help

    Can I cash my FACA during Covid 19?

    Let go after 27 years of service. I'm 50. Need to borrow a portion from pension, is that allowed? I am considered 'vested' at my job but THEY let me go. I requested this already and await their determination. (Determination? Isn't it MY money and THEY let ME go?)
