I will say this. In EVERYONES'S defense that called me a liar when I posted over and over about a TPB increase. This information is not publicized by the Retirement Dept and other than the paragraph I posted, is not clearly explained in the Retirement website. When I visited the investment advisors I selected to handle my retirement they mentioned this to me. This is the same firm Dano called a "goober" because they explained to me that pilots pension is MUCH more lucrative as far as benefits than they rest of the employees get. We all know Dano has zero credibility. I have mentioned this increase to friends that were Sr Mgrs, Directors and everyday hourlys and got the same response I did on here. They told me I was nuts. I have explained on here over and over on here how to see for yourself how the increase works. All you have to do is go on the FedEx.retirement.com website. Find the "Project Your Pension" drop down. In the chart you will select a retirement date, THEN you will select the date you want to COMMENCE benefits. In simple,terms, that means the date you want to start your pension. To verify I am correct, put in Dec 31, 2021 as your retirement date and put in Jan 1, 2022 as your pension COMMENCE date. You will see that your TPB will be the amount that you have assumed it will be since the day you left the Traditional pension. THEN put in Dec 31, 2021, the same date as your 1st calculation as retirement but this time put in Jan 1, 2023 as commence date, 1 year later. You will see the increase in your TPB. Then put in Dec 31, 2021 as retirement but this time put in Jan1, 2024 as your commence benefits date, again, you will another increase. I know Tupac keeps wanting to say a projection is not facts but he is just too bitter to understand they use the word PROJECT as a way to convey how the chart shows you how your retirement will play out. I don't care if you hate me or not, believe me or not, this increase is there for those that can afford to delay drawing your pensions. I will delay mine for 5 years. There is a break even age of 72 for me. If I pass before 72, this delay did not work for me. If I live past 72, it worked to perfection. Even if I pass before 72, my wife will get the increase, it does not end with my death. I know this post was long but if anyone needs more info, I will try to answer in a shorter post.
