Verizon Wireless Pensioners - Your Pension Benefits May Be Underpaid

Did you start receiving a pension from Verizon Wireless? Were you married when your benefits started? If so, you may be receiving pension benefits that are too low and you may have a claim.

Did your benefits start in the last six years? If so, and if you were married when you started receiving benefits, you may not be getting all of the benefits you earned from your defined pension benefits. It is possible to obtain greater benefits than what you are currently receiving from your Verizon wireless pension benefits.

Generally, retirees who get a pension are entitled to a monthly payment for the rest of their life, which is called an annuity. Retirees can choose to receive their pension benefits as an annuity just for them or they can choose an annuity with a “survivor benefit” — which continues the monthly payments to a spouse after the retiree dies. For married retirees, the default option is a “survivor benefit.” To convert a normal annuity to a survivor benefit annuity, plans use complicated formulas based on life expectancies and interest rates.

What is the Verizon Survivor Annuity?

A Survivor Annuity (JSA) is a financial product that provides ongoing income to couples, ensuring that payments continue for as long as either partner is alive. When one partner passes away, the surviving spouse typically receives a reduced percentage of the original payment, which can vary up to 100%.

JSAs offer several benefits, including guaranteed lifetime income and financial security for the surviving partner. However, they often come with lower initial payments compared to single-life annuities and less flexibility once established. These annuities are generally more suitable for couples in or nearing retirement, while younger couples might find alternative investment options more advantageous.
