It depends on the local. I think if you have Teamcare its 55 but for my local the UPS retirees are still covered by UPS (Aetna) insurance which can be 52 or any age depending on the language. Which does cause some confusion when you call the local union for information.
When you turn 65 and go on Medicare, purchase a good Supplement Insurance and it will beat Team Care hands down. Supplement will cover pretty much of deductibles and what Medicare doesn't pay. Our Local retirement was 30 years and out at any age. So I beat feet at 49. Best decision in my life, except for choosing my spouse.
How you doing? Haven't seen you post in awhile.
40 years of your life you were not at UPS.
Good luck to you and stay well.
They owe you the world for a whopping 25 years.
Thanks
Total agreement. 30 years to the day. My anniversary date fell on the 31st of the month. The next day received my first pension check. Philosophy is right, get your time completed and get out and enjoy life while you are still young.I would think that with a feeble mind like yours, you would understand that I worked no longer than I had to receive my pension. Why others work 5 to 10 years after being eligible is beyond me. I was lucky enough in my life to not be one of those that started working at UPS right out of High School and had to in at least my Local work 30 years and retire regardless of age. I started back in 81, hired off the street friend/T just when NDA was taking off. Why would you care how many years I put in at Big Brown? I value my time off in retirement as priceless. We only go around once, and to stay any longer putting up with all the BS at UPS is just not worth it. Maybe you are one of the unlucky ones that is miserable now dealing with the crap that rolls downhill day after day? I can only guess, as you seem to be negative many times with many of your responses, more than likely being stuck having to put in more than 25 to get out of the rut you seem to be in. I was one of those that did not want to boast " I left UPS with 38 or 42 years of Service" I did my time deciding that there is Life outside the walls of Big Brown. Just wondering How old were you when you started? And how many years do you have to work before you can hang it up?
Do the math.............I started at 30........add 25...........equals 55.........retirement requirements met............farewell............
I started at 28. I have 28 years in and 2 1/2 to go. I'll consider it a privilege to retire young, not an entitlement. My health insurance will be 500 plus and I won't whine about it.I would think that with a feeble mind like yours, you would understand that I worked no longer than I had to receive my pension.
