URGENT: Local 280 members who have reached the age of normal retirement (age 65), were mailed a letter from the SEIU Pension Fund during the month of January. This letter contains information regarding drawing your pension. Please be aware that all Union Locals have specific rules regarding working after retirement. Local 280's rule is if you draw your pension prior to the age of 70, you will no longer be able to keep your seniority number.
If you draw your pension prior to the age of 70 years old, you could elect to become a $75 annual retiree. As a $75 annual retiree, you would no longer be an Active member. You would be allowed to work as an Extra without a seniority number. If you wait until the age of 70 to draw your pension, you would be allowed to retain your seniority number and would be eligible to work as often as you would like; using your seniority number.
Do not send back the pension application if you plan on continuing to work.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office
