Hi James, thank you for your question. At 54 years old with 30 years of service, you will be eligible for your full retiree healthcare benefits.

Constructing a well-defined plan for your future can result in more clarity and peace of mind, and can also guide any adjustments that may be necessary now to help you in pursuit of your retirement goals. If there is anything we can do to help you as you consider your retirement planning, please feel free to call at 412-261-5966, or email at [email protected]. Best, Bobby

hi...I just want to verify, are these videos specifically for verizon union employees? or do they apply to verizon non-union employees as well? thanks!

Thank you for your question, Trish! The Verizon Benefits Center will have needed to receive your Pension Election and Authorization Forms AND they will have needed to receive notification of your retirement by the 10th of the month in order for you to receive your pension benefit (either the annuity or lump sum) on or around the first day of the next month. This notification process is initiated on your “last day worked” and can take a few business days. Setting a “last day worked” that is roughly a week before the 10th of the month deadline typically provides ample time. If either of these items misses the 10th of the month deadline, you will simply receive your benefit on or around the first day of the following month. Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions

@@hapanowicz-financial I hope Verizon offers better index funds than that for associates. I was hoping to see FSKAX or FXAIX. 🤨

@@bingbong3643 verizons passive us equity fund is cheaper than fidelity, you're better off with it

Hi Mr. Williams, the answer to that question would depend on multiple factors including whether or not there is a will, what type of asset is being considered, and whether or not there are any living distant relatives, to name just a few. We recommend you consult your estate planning attorney to further explore a specific situation. Thank you for the question!
