Question : How can I find out if I qualify for pension benefits under the ladies garment workers union?
I worked for the ladies garment union in various companies for years off and on. Since I have gotten to retirement age now, I decided to check to see if I may actually have something coming to me. I have been out of that industry for at least 30 years, so I sort of lost track and had actually not thought too much about it until I was talking with my daughter and she reminded me that I should check. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Thanks for anything you can share that could possibly point me in the right direction. The only other significant fact is that I worked for the union in North Carolina and Virginia only in the 1950′s, 60′s and some 70′s. Thanks, again.
