HOW TO: Determine Your Plan Tier

You can confirm your pension tier by logging in to see your personal information.

Additionally, if you are receiving a pension benefit, your pension payment includes a fund number that identifies your tier. Your fund number is located in the middle column below the Pension ID# on printed checks or the upper-right corner of your direct deposit statements.
