[QUOTE="qdg2, post: 5514957, member: 100309"] .... ..... When I started the process of retirement, the Local Union "benefits" lady(very nice person btw) said "direct ALL questions to Atlanta"....I will say, in my experience with Atlanta......expect a months long journey. Everything had to be in writing....questions and answers. They(Atlanta) give the disclaimer that they have a week for every response.....think about that. I'm just 60(wife same age), so we'll be on Teamcare for five more years. However, I will draw SS when the soonest possible....... The Wife is a cancer patient/survivor so big expenses still ongoing...... We really don't know what else to do except keep going as normal. We got a letter(in writing) that said just expect a normal transition with Teamcare as before. Just the $400 total each month. That's all I have to go on. Fellow retiree's seem to say the same... Now about info and asking friends/co-workers.....it just follows the MO of working at UPS. Everyone gets treated differently, better/worse....who knows. I will say, during my 42 years......we never had anything not paid or even any sort of glitch with insurance and benefits. My daughters birth? $0.....appendectomy? $0. So on. Cancer stuff?...$0 I have a friend that is going to Juarez this week to have his knee done(this is his other one that the same doctor did)....WTF? Happy as can be..."yep $10k all in..." he says...I just said "wow". Except my experience with the witch in Atlanta......my retirement (3 months) has been seamless. I have a friend that wants to retire with a complicated marriage past....I suggested giving it a lot of time(three months). Hard to believe someone at Teamcare wants to go after you for 2001 on....... [/QUOTE]
