Question Once a person retires and has submitted their pension election choice to their company, how long is a company allowed to hold onto the money before they send it to the retiree?
Answer The answer under most circumstances is payments should commence "as soon as administratively feasible".
If you feel they are taking too long, you can contact the local office of the U.S. Dept. of Labor - Employee Benefits Security Administration. They may be able to help you.
