The Difference One Call Can Make

January 23, 2025

A black rotary telephone.

A Michigan resident was trying to get his pension started. He had called his pension plan several times and left messages, but no one ever got back to him. He had filled out a pension application once already, but it was denied because he had done it too early, and the plan never sent him a new application.

After several months, he called the Mid America Pension Project. The attorney with the project called the company with the client and left a message on the pension manager’s voicemail. The client received a new application within three days. The client received his pension benefit approximately two months later.

Having an advocate in your corner can make a difference. If you need support with your pension plan, contact the Mid America Pension Project:
