This will your choice that you will have to make.

If you choose to take the pension benefits as a lump sum distribution you would receive the total amount at one time.

If you choose to receive it as a annuity you will receive periodic payments over a number of years.

Can your social security or pension be taken for credit card debt in Pennsylvania?

No, SS benefits and the majority of pension benefits are 100% exempt from creditor attachment. However, it is the responsibility of the debtor to provide documentation that his or her income is a result of such monies. It is prudent to hold all such exempt benefits in a separate account and not commingle them with other non exempt funds.

What is the pension for a union electrician?

The amount would vary by location, union, and how much was paid into your fund. I have 36 years in the trade and i am retiring at age 55 with a pension of 2900 with a 50% spousal option that brings my pension down to 2610. Our union doubles our pension from age 55 to 62 if you meet certain requirements, that I meet. This brings my retirement to 5510 gross dollars a month. I do have to pay federal tax out of this, but no FICA, state tax our union dues. We also have an annuity fund that I have been in from its inception in 1981. As of 2/1/2011 i have 510,000 in this fund. When I reach 62 the double pension will stop, but the NEBF and the international pension will start along with social security. The total retirement with all four sources will be about 5600 dollars plus any money taken out of the annuity. This amount is not the average pension a union electrician will make, but one who worked out of the north east with no lost time and at foreman and GF rate.

Will your social security go up every year you keep working after 62 if you are already drawing social security?

If you are working you should not be claiming state benefits (apart form your state retirement pension) as to work and claim social security is fraud. If you mean will your pension increase if you are already drawing it and keep working then the answer is no. However, once you pass pension age you no longer have to pay the national insurance contributions (which contribute to your pension) if you keep working. If you defer taking your state pension and keep working, then from the date you could have taken your state pension you WILL get a pension increase of 10% for each year you defer taking it (or you can take the back pension as a lump sum instead).
