In anticipation of information forthcoming from United Management regarding the EarlyOut/BuyOut Program, Council 9 AFA Leadership will be hosting two (2) upcoming Retirement Seminars. Both seminars will be conducted by AFA MEC Benefits Vice-Chair Dan Rietema, and will be held at the American Postal Workers Union Hall from Noon – 3:30 p.m. on May 1 (Tuesday) and May 3 (Thursday).
This early notice should provide those interested with ample opportunity to bid their May schedule accordingly.
While the Company is in the final stages of ensuring all aspects related to the EO/BO Program, details should be available in the coming week(s). Your AFA Representatives have been urging the Company to plan for an extended open bid period so that those interested have the ability to fully research and determine their financial situation in order to make such an important ‘life-event’ decision.
This seminar is not meant to give individualized advice on whether the EO/BO is right for you, however we will outline the considerations which should be part of your decision-making process. As we have suggested in previous newsletters, please go to the PBGC website and the Social Security website to familiarize yourself with the information there before coming to the meeting. Also review the language of the EarlyOut/Retirement BuyOut Program as negotiated in our new Ratified Contract. You may want to take advantage of the services of a financial planner to help provide a more personalized plan for your future.
We look forward to your attendance.
