Yes, you can take a lump sum payout from your pension if you resign; however, you should not. Instead, you should open an IRA account. You should have your employer roll over your pension directly into your IRA account so you do not pay a 20% penalty. If you chose to take a check from your employer and use it to open an IRA account then you pay a 20% penalty.

Are there any tax advantages to having a cash settlement instead of installments?

When you take a monetary payout in installments, especially in an annuity (yearly installments) you must pay taxes on each installment. While this wouldn't be a problem for a monthly payout, taking a lump sum payout on an annuity means you only have to pay taxes once on it. Typically a cash settlement will be less than the total of the installments. The advantage is that you have the money all at once. Of course you'll have to pay taxes on it if the settlement isn't exempt from taxes.


Can you take all your pension money out?

Whether you can withdraw all your pension money depends on the type of pension plan you have and the rules governing it. In many cases, you may be able to access your funds upon reaching retirement age or if you meet certain conditions, but early withdrawals can incur penalties and tax implications. Some plans may allow a lump-sum withdrawal, while others may require you to take periodic payments. It's important to consult your plan documents or a financial advisor for specific guidance based on your situation.


How fast can you receive your cash settlements?

This depends on how big of a hit you're willing to take on the financial gain in your settlement. Payments may be drawn out over years, but you'll be guaranteed the full settlement. However, if in desperate need of immediate cash, you may sell your future payments for one quick lump sum. Bear in mind that the payout will be dramatically reduced. It is also possible to take out a loan on a settlement, but again, this will lead to a smaller payout, as well, because loans must always be paid back.


What steps should I take to give my life insurance in life annuities, as opposed to a lump sum?

Many life insurance companies simply give you the option for the payout. Simply contact the company and explain this to them, either over the phone or in person is best. You have the right idea, as that way your daughter can't accidentally spend the entire thing.

If you take your pension at age 55 and still work is there a penalty?

Although you can retire at any age, you can only get your State Pension when you reach State Pension age. The earliest you can receive a company or personal pension is 55 - but this depends on your pension scheme rules. If you're retiring because of ill-health you may be able to take your benefits before this age. If you have serious ill-health and your life expectancy is less than a year then you can retire at any age. You can take up to 100 per cent of your pension fund as a tax-free lump sum. If you're married or have a civil partner, up to 50 per cent of the pension fund may be retained by the scheme. This will be used to provide for a survivor's pension.


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).

Why do lottery winners usually take an immediate smaller cash payout instead of a larger payout paid periodically over time?

The larger payout amount is an "estimated value" based on the smaller actual payout plus interest. If you take the larger payout, you are essentially allowing the lottery holders to invest your money. The risk is if the lottery goes bankrupt, you will get nothing. Also, I assume most people would prefer to invest their own money and keep all of it.
