Plan language and government regulations determine whether you can work and receive your pension benefit.

Jeff plans to retire July 1, 2019 but he thinks he may want to work after retirement. Jeff believes he can collect his pension and work too.

The Pension Plan or government regulations may prohibit Jeff from returning to work and receiving his pension too. Jeff should contact the Fund Office before taking any action!

Telephone calls to the Fund Office are strongly encouraged if there are any questions about future employment. A phone call may prevent an overpayment or suspension of your pension. A representative is available to answer your questions 8am to 5pm CT Monday through Friday (866) 342-6555. To see a full description of your Plan’s benefits and limits, please refer to the Pension Summary Plan Description (SPD). You may access the SPD and Plan Document at www.bnf-kc.com.
