Retirement planning complexities for Verizon employees
We’ve worked with employees of Verizon for years, so we understand how your financial life is uniquely complex.
How does retirement eligibility work at Verizon? How do you plan lump sum vs annuity on your pension? What happens with your retiree medical benefits?
Three costly Verizon retirement myths
Don’t let these misconceptions cost you hundreds of thousands—or more.
Truth: That assumption can be expensive. Verizon pension lump sums are impacted by interest rates and timing, and even small changes can swing your payout by tens—or even hundreds—of thousands of dollars depending on when you retire.
Truth: That delay can be costly. Verizon employees who plan their pension elections, 401(k) withdrawals, and tax strategies well in advance have more flexibility and can avoid expensive mistakes.
Truth: That approach can limit your outcome. Verizon's 401(k) plan offers multiple fund options and withdrawal strategies—without rebalancing and coordinating your portfolio with your pension, you could be taking on unnecessary risk or missing opportunities to diversify your retirement income.
