why is my pension fund taking so long for me to get? I paid in to the fund on time and i don't think i should have to wait 4-5 months to recieve MY money.They wanted our payments now we want our monies owed to us retirees.i recently lost a non-union job and now im despert for money. i lost a union job 2 years ago and have never recovered financially from that loss.im almost destute.
