Looking For Part Time Pension Info

[Jeeper]

I worked part-time for UPS from 1984 - 1993 in Iowa and am currently 60 years old and approaching retirement from a public school teaching career. I searched online and found this site but after reading several of the posts in the retirement section, my head is spinning even more. I'm curious about how much of a pension I may be eligible for from UPS and how I go about accessing it. Any information or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

It's different everywhere. From my understanding the part time pension isn't available until age 65, without a huge penalty

You are asking at the wrong place. Your best bet would be to contact the Local that covered you when you were at UPS. There can't be that many Locals in Iowa.

Thanks IGP4U, I'm continuing to search through previous posts and am rapidly coming to that conclusion. Looks like the local Teamsters may be a good place to start....I always thought I needed to contact UPS directly for info on my pension.

Helpful hint---if that's your real name in your avatar don't use it.

How far is that from Davenport? My son works there.

@Jeeper : If you were under the company plan (and I suspect you were), they can be reached at: UPS Pension Plan, 55 Glenlake Parkway NE, Atlanta, GA 30328

I'm about two hours Northwest of Davenport.

Thanks Hondo, I'll definitely get in touch with them. I'm cautiously optimistic about the amount I may be eligible for from my years at UPS. From what I've read on here, it could amount to $50 per year of service and I worked part time for nine years. If that holds true, that'll be $450 per month which will be a nice supplement to my teaching pension.
