Pensions

White Plains, New York, ERISA Claim Lawyers

Under the federal rules that govern defined benefit pension plans, employees normally receive payments based on the number of years an employee paid into the pension fund and the amount earned on the job. Employees do not maintain a separate account in a defined benefit plan, and it is administered through a trust. A defined contribution plan, on the other hand, requires contributions to his or her specific account. Since the contributions are subject to the earnings potential of the investments over the years, the worker is not guaranteed to receive a specific amount upon retirement.
