Benefit Payments and Direct Deposit. When your pension begins, you receive a benefit payment each month (unless you receive a mandatory cash-out payment or you have elected a voluntary cash-out of your benefit). You can elect payment by mail or through electronic direct deposit. We encourage benefit recipients to sign up for direct deposit.
Some pension plans require the employee to make a small, periodic contribution to the fund. The amount of pension that a pensioner receives depends on the type of pension plan. Pension plans generally can be divided into two categories: defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. A defined benefit plan provides a set amount of benefits to a pensioner. Under a defined contribution plan, the employer places a certain amount of money in the employee's name into the pension fund and makes no promises concerning the level of pension benefits that the employee will receive upon retirement.
