Just a question, can your pension distribution be switched to long term disability or can you sell out your pension in a lump sum due to terminal cancer
So sorry for your situation.
Unfortunately, our pension plans do not offer a lump sum payment (for balances over a certain amount, which I believe is $5K or less) nor can you convert to a long term disability plan.
Your best bet is to either buy a term life insurance policy which, with your medical diagnosis, you are most likely going to have a very hard time qualifying for or would end up paying a very high monthly premium, or you can try to go to one of those "It's my money and I want it now" firms, like JG Wentworth, which will pay you pennies on the dollar.
