At what age do you expect to start receiving benefits from this employer?

How much do you expect to receive in benefits from this pension plan per month or per year?

Some pension plans have a definite formula based on years of service or salary. Some plans base benefits on how much money has accumulated in a person's account. Other plans use both ways of setting benefits. How were the benefits for your pension determined- by a definite formula based on years of service or salary, or by the amount of money in your accouz, or in both ways? -

Did this plan cover people who worked for other employers as well as your own?

INTERVIEWER CHECKPOINT:

Have you worked for pay for any other employer, or were you self-employed on any prior job?
