How do you apply for Pension Plan Payments for White Consolidated Industries?

Answer 1

Been trying for six months to get my WCI pension. NO one will answer my correspondence at the 11767 Berea Rd , Cleveland address. Social Security gave me that contact address. HELP . I need my pension.

Answer 2

The former group of companies known as White Consolidated Industries (WCI), purchased in the late 1980's by Electrolux, a Swedish appliance company, are required by an action of the Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation (an independent agency of the Federal Gov't) to maintain and continue to operate the old WCI pension plan and pay benefits accordingly.

If you had sufficient WCI service time to be vested under the plan ( a minimum of 5 years, I think it was), then you are probably eligible for a WCI pension.

They don't make it easy to find out how to do this though. It took me a solid month of digging around online and by phone to get to the right people.

Without knowing any of the particulars of your WCI employment (were you hourly, salaried, etc. and which WCI company did you work for), I can't really specifically say where you should begin.

Here are a couple of general suggestions though...

1) Contact the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and ask them where to start. Relevant addresses/phone numbers can be found on Google.

2) Google "Electrolux, White Consolidated Industries Pension Plan" to find contact information and go from there.

Sorry I cannot be more specific, but each individual situation is different.

Good Luck~!
