I think it depends somewhat on the specific info you are requesting. Do you think they are giving you too LOW of a pension amount?

You can sort of check this by looking at annuity calculators online.

Based on the value of the account, and your age, you should be able to come close to getting the same amount as they do.

Do you have an option to take in a lump sum? Are you over 59.5?

Just turned 65.

The amount they say for the last years monthly income is off.
They say $1905
I calc $1949

Up til 2015 there was a 2% contribution, then changed to 1.45% from 2016 on.

Just want to see clean numbers on a spreadsheet.

The amount is $251 per month.

Does this passage suggest I can take a lump sum ?
