Question I plan to work past 70.5 years of age. I have a pension with the company I am working for. Will I be able to draw from my pension after 70.5 even though I haven't stopped working for this company?
Answer It all depends on the terms of the plan. Some plans allow a participant to begin receiving benefits once he reaches the retirement age. Other plans require the participant to stop working. If your plan delays payment, the amount of the payment will increase to reflect the later starting date.
