Can my pension benefit be assigned to another person? No.Benefits cannot be sold, assigned or pledged to anyone, nor can they be used as security for a loan. Furthermore, they are not subject to attachment or execution under any judgment or decree of a court or otherwise interfere with your Plan benefits prior to distribution. There is an exception, however, to this general rule. The Trustees must honor a Qualified Domestic Relations Order issued by a court that obligates you to pay child support or alimony, or otherwise allocates a portion of your Plan benefits to your spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent. You may obtain a copy of the Plan’s procedures for determining whether a court order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order by contacting the Fund Office. What about my Social Security benefits? The Social Security benefits to which you may be entitled are payable in addition to any benefits provided under this Plan. How can I obtain additional information about the Plan? Should you have any questions concerning the Plan, you should contact the Fund Office. Simply call or write to: |
