Default Retirement info?

Hi, I'm new to the site but had a question.

I was a driver for 5 years and in management for 14. I've been gone now for 5 years and enjoying a "normal" life. Last time I looked at my retirememt benifits book they used to hand out to us every year, I was at about $2000 a month at age 65, or around age 65, I can't remember. Haven't seen the pamphlet in years. Does that sound correct? I've been totally out of touch with UPS and haven't recieved any info (might be because i moved out of state) in years, although I get correspondence from central States on occation. Who should I contact to find out and also just to let them know where I'm at. I've got another 20 years or so before I'm elgible to draw, but just wanted to find out what the facts were.

Thanks

That sounds like a bit much (compared to people that work 30+ years to retirement age)................

lol. expect a big fat nothing. You weren't a driver long enough to become vested... And your management pension probably went down the drain when you left...

Of course I'm just squirting this info out of my butt.

I was told you got vested at 5 years...I've been trying 14 years now to get a straight answer on what pension I've earned with 5 years pt sup service.
