Perhaps contact your state's Insurance Commission.
Is there printed, and published, language allowing for the denial of benefits as explained in post #5 or is it just "inferred"?
What's wrong with the retirement Dept?

Well...I have to think there is some sort of appeal process. Not knowing the details(only going
on what little there is) I'd start there. If there was some sort of glitch not receiving paperwork
that was sent, it seems this could be corrected. Now trying to retro something made in
bad judgement is another story i.e. trying to save a buck. If a mistake(by the retiree)
(not deliberate actions) was made, it should be correctable. Having done some initial
inquiries about retirement, I can see how it could go terribly wrong. Our HR dept.(whatever
that is) could give a crap about anything except racial/me too bs. They are the same bored
with contempt people you encounter in Dispatch, Automotive,Payroll and P.E. My inquiries were
met with such nebulous indifference, I gave up until I'm absolutely ready. I've been
told give it 60 days. And as I sit, I have no real amount figures. I have no idea.
If I ask even newly retired co-workers(who I've worked beside for 30 years), it's like a
secret Masonic handshake kinda deal. Weird. The biggest thing I don't understand is
this guy gets $800 more than book etc. Why, I ask? Well because of this, that, he was before
that contract etc.

I know some drivers that sent all their retirement papers by USPS Certified Mail RRR (return receipt requested).
The company can't say, "we didn't get that" when the post office says you did.
It's cheap insurance to CYA.

It almost sounds like no one wants to talk to you. Weird.

Debbie is great. She helped me several times. She was a feeder driver also before taking local from Mark T.

Yep! She and her husband. She actually got the former Sec. Treas.to pay back some of the money he embezzled if I'm not mistaken?

I'm not sure. I asked her husband but he was close mouthed about it. Been retired almost 5 years now from feeder and very rarely see anyone from the hub anymore. Sometimes at Costco or the credit union. I do stop by the shop once or twice a year to BS with the mechanics who were always my favorite people.
Are you in feeder? I knew the center manager , Phil C. when he was a lowly supe. Wasnt surprised on him making it. He is a good guy. Spoke to Nick in dispatch and Randy ( payroll guy ). Randy is cool and gives me all the updates on who retired etc.
Mark got what was coming to him. he told me that i would never get transferred to Reno but when i did he was pissed and would never help me when ihad grievances. well,he helped a little but was still a jerk.

if you are decades away dont worry about it,it will probably change a lot by then. right now its $150 for single,$300 for married. im happy with the coverage. we pay monthly direct withdraw from your checking or savings. if you miss a payment your done. its not beyond excellent but its close. i have never had a problem so far.
