Does anyone know how to cash out my pension trust?

Hey all. I lost my job this winter after 13 years, 7 as a full time driver. I have heard that there is a pension trust fund that I can cash out with a tax penalty. Does anyone know how to initiate this process? Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. You can't cash out your pension but you should be able to cash out your 401k.

Your pension gives you cash if you turn 65 before you die. Cash to pay bills kinda like aflac.

The easiest way to find out would be to call the number on your H&W card. If you threw that out, call your local union hall and ask. They will either answer or give you the number to call.
