I was given a contract and it states that the company will pay 3% of my annual salary into a private pension fund of my choosing. I have left the company and asked them to pay up into a pension fund. They told me to go **** myself,stating it was only available while I worked for them.

I had my current retirement plan representative contact my previous employer's retirement division and had everything rolled over.  I had a 401K plan and now work as a state employee.
