I'm not sure if you mean the pension award, or the retirement gift selection.
I retired October 1st; never got a catalog, so I called yesterday. They told me I need a redemption code, and that I was still listed as an active employee. I told her I've gotten 4 pension checks already, and I can assure you I'm NOT active, and I'm NOT coming back. Who runs that place?!?!

Is this something new? I never got anything as a retirement gift from the company. I did get one from the Union though (a nice pen , a license plate holder and a small tool set)--- all with "Retired Teamster Local 638" imprinted on them. .
Sorry I meant pension letter that says your retired

When I retired, I was sent a letter from the Teamster Retirement Pension Retirement Plan after I asked for a retirement packet.
BUT! You have to recognize! NONE of Teamster Pension plans are the same!! On top of that! As an example: My health insurance when I retired even to this date is still thru UPS and not the Teamsters! So before you retire address this issue, as it should be at the top of your retirement list of things to be correctly identified and in place BEFORE you walk out that door!
I was in the WCT. They were very helpful for the region I was in.
Prior to them sending me a letter, I had to apply for retirement with them. I had to I.D my preferences of how I wanted my pension distributed. Once approved, I got my packet back with the date I wanted to retire. All I needed was to sign and date and return. It was at that point I notified my Manager the date I was DONE! He spoke to payroll. Altho this was almost 17 years ago I too was in contact with our payroll clerk and she had all my statement/check stubs for my remaining monies all paid out weekly pay stubs.
Your retirement is Important but pay close attention to your retirement HEALTHCARE if you are pre Medicare!

You’ll be able to figure it out when that check shows up in your mailbox
Why do you need a letter that says you’re retired

Don't underestimate their ability to screw things up. Especially when HR outsources a lot of the work to a third party.
Teamster benifit sheet says you have to attach copy of pension award notice

Exactly. Both the company and union have me down for a retirement date mid-Sept. 2018. My last official day was last day of May, while my last worked day was towards the end of April. Vacation got me to end of May. 1st pension check deposited June 1st. It was so screwed up, UPS actually paid me for July 4th and Labor Day, direct deposited. Even while still working there they wouldn't pay holidays if you didn't work enough hours to qualify for holiday pay. Yet they paid me for Labor day, and I hadn't worked a single day in 3 1/2 months...

My reward letter came from my bank.
Pension check deposited.
Retirement from UPS is a simple process online, even for an old fart like me.
The yearly safety awards catalog was a cool selection award.

10 days from when I sent the estimate paperwork in to see that it matched the retirement calculater. 10 days after I completed the paperwork online and emailed it to the pension people UPS/Teamsters that they said I was good to retire on my set date..
Got mine today. I ordered it a week ago.
Got a Bushnell Rangefinder for my son, I think it sells for around $200. They had at least 100 things to choose from.

Yes. There is still some things I can view. My name still appears on the top,but my employee ID is gone. As far as the retirement gift they sent me a code in the mail and I was able to look at all the stuff and pick one. Just had to call them to order it.

For a while they cut off retirees from Upsers right after I retired but they changed it back. When that happened is when I started coming to Browncafe for answers.
