Pension Plan Basics

Many employees throughout Indiana, including those who have worked for years at BP Whiting Refinery, are counting on a pension to get them through their retirement years. But what exactly is a pension?

As defined by Investopedia, a pension plan is a type of employer-sponsored retirement plan where an employer makes investments into a pool of funds, which is then invested on an employee’s behalf. Upon retirement, the employee will draw income from the earnings on the investments. While a pension plan always requires contributions from an employee, in some cases, employees are also permitted to make contributions.

  • Can I view my pension benefit estimate? Yes – you maintain the right to view your pension benefit estimate and have an idea of how much your pension holds and what you will be able to collect when you retire; this is an important part of creating a financial plan for your future. Pension benefit estimates can be viewed online – contact us to learn more. 
  • I’m about to retire – how can I request my pension benefits? If you are planning to retire in the near future, knowing how to collect your benefits is important. You have two options for initiating a retirement request: online or over the phone. Before you do so, though, we recommend consulting with our financial advisors to ensure that you understand your benefit and have a solid plan for your retirement years. 
  • After I request my benefits, when will I receive my payments? After you have submitted a benefit request, you should begin receiving your payments within 60 days, and no later than 90 days.
  • I’ve made a benefit request – can I cancel it? If you want to cancel a benefit request after it’s been submitted, you should call directly. Note that the forms that you file will not take effect until you actually terminate your position with BP Whiting Refinery.
