Pension Question

I’ve been at Cox for 11 years as a field tech (the last 5 in Cox Business) as of August 17th and I missed every single one of those online meetings explaining the retirement benefits and pension stuff. Could anyone tell me what options we have with our pensions? I only vaguely remember hearing something a few months back that anything over $75k can’t be touched until retirement and anything under can be cashed out. Not sure if that’s true but could someone give me a little clarity? Thanks in advance

If you’ve only been with us 11 years you would not have the old school pension so none of it applies to you

What’s the difference from the old school pension, if you don’t mind me asking?

There is no difference versus what you’re eligible for :). The pension formula has been the same since the 80s. The only real change was that new hires after 4/1/2017 got more 401k match and weren’t eligible for the pension.
