The friendly guide to pensions for every retiree
Protecting Your Pension For Dummies is the only user-friendly resource for the tens of millions of present and future retirees who are impacted by the dramatic and on-going changes in our country’s pension laws. As a result of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, employers across the nation, both big and small, are now changing their pension plans, with the rights of pensioners being reshuffled in the process. Up until now, the pension game has been one-sided with just the plan knowing and applying the rules. As a result of the recent underfunding problems and failures of major pension plans, however, pensioners have come to realize that in order to protect their own pensions they cannot afford to remain uniformed. Now there is available an up-to-date, comprehensive and understandable guide that provides an overview of the rules concerning retirement plans that empowers retirees and future retirees by explaining what has changed, what their rights are, and how they can protect their money. Company bankruptcies, mergers and failing pension plans, as well as divorces, loans, personal bankruptcies and the rights of surviving spouses are covered in Protecting Your Pension For Dummies. Millions of pensioners will find this book indispensable to guide them through the ever-trickier pension world to help assure they get the pension benefits they’ve worked so hard to earn.
