Posted by Larry Parker on 2/10/2006, 2:39 pm, in reply to "Retirement benefits" looks like a good place to start. On the bottom of the main page of that website, you can click on "Contact Us", which shows a phone number of 800-523-2846. Also shown are e-mail addresses. If they don't cover Teamsters from Wilmington, ask who does. Whether you call or e-mail, they might want your name, Social Security Number, the Local you were with, the years you were a Teamster, and/or the companies you worked for. There are some negative possibilities. Your contracts may not have included pension contributions. Even if they did, many or all of the Teamster pension plans back then required a minimum of 10 years of contributory service in order for you to become vested-that is eligible to get any benefits at retirement age or time. So 9.99 years or less of contributions could equal zero for you now. And some or all pension plans had other anti-worker clauses such as break-in-service rules, etc. But contact them. I hope you get a pension.

I am from the west coast, but I see that Wilmington is close enough to Philadelphia that the website "Health and Welfare and Pension Funds of Philadelphia and Vicinity":
