PensionHelp 

If you have a question about an employer-sponsored pension or retirement savings plan, or need help getting information or benefits, continue below. For other services, return to our home page or select another service from the choices on the left.

Counseling and Assistance

We are in the final testing phase of our online referral service. Your answers to a few short questions will not only get you to the right government agency for your particular pension issue, you'll also receive a referral to a local pension counseling project, legal services provider, retiree organization or other helpful no-cost service provider. Until PensionHelp America can do this for you, browse the pension help resources at the Pension Rights Center's website.

Pension Counseling Projects
The Administration on Aging Pension Counseling and Information Program currently serves 18 states. You can contact one of these projects if you, your company, or your pension plan are (or used to be) within a project service area.

Government Pension Agencies
The government agency you need to contact will depend on the type of pension "system" you are in or have a question about. The agencies on this list are organized by the types of pensions that they deal with.

State Pension Plans
If you have a question about a pension plan that is provided by a state, county or local govenrment, this list of state pension plan offices might be a good place to start.  Even if you didn't work directly under one of these plans, they will likely know where your correct pension office is.
