The U.A. Local No. 393 Defined Benefit Pension Plan (“Plan”, “Pension Plan”), historically called the “Part A Plan”, is designed to work with your Social Security benefits, your U.A. Local No. 393 Defined Contribution Plan, and your personal savings and investments to provide you with income when you retire.

This Plan is a “defined benefit” retirement plan. This means that the once you are vested, you will receive a fixed monthly benefit at retirement. This type of plan is different from a defined contribution plan, where the amount you receive at retirement depends on investment returns.

As a participant of the Plan, you can look forward to receiving a benefit at retirement, once you are fully vested and meet the requirements for a pension.
