Part time ups pension question

[crystal_ball]

I had about 7 1/2 years as part timer. How do I figure out my pension benefits for this period? The last 4 of those years as a "cover driver" I worked over 40 hours a week. Does this mean anything?

I plan to retire at age 57 or 58. The Central States calculator says about $2000 a month benefit at 57 and $2250 at 58.

Why do you have to work at an approved job after you start collection from Central States? I could understand if you were taking a full time teamster job. But this seems like discrimination.

I guess I will have to sell stuff on ebay, move overseas, or work for tips because I wont be able to afford to retire in this country on the above projected amounts.

Friend of mine is going through a divorce. As per Judges orders, he had to get info due re: his pension. The information came 4 months after he requested it and it was broken down into 2 parts. (Ft and PT pensions)
Even though it took a while it had all the information he needed including what was accrued during the marriage.
