L ATE RETIREMENT PENSION
ELIGIBILITY
You are eligible for a late retirement pension if you have met the
eligibility requirements for a regular pension or a deferred vested
pension, but wish to defer the start of your pension until after
your regular pension would ordinarily begin. However, whether
or not you stop working, a late retirement pension must begin by
April 1 following the calendar year you reach age 70½.
YOUR LATE RETIREMENT PENSION AMOUNT
Your late retirement pension amount is determined in the same
way as the regular pension amount, as described on page 16,
except that it includes benefits earned to your late retirement
date (or April 1 following the year you reach age 70½, if sooner).
Each year after normal retirement and prior to your benefit
commencement date, the additional benefit you earn will be the
larger of the benefit calculated under the Plan’s formula, or the
prior year’s benefit times an actuarial increase factor. This amount
is then adjusted for the form of payment you select.
