Retirement question?

Question

please help

my mom got fired from her job becuase of a small outbust.

she has been working for PAPPAS company for 20 years and 3 months

my question is

1)can she claim retirement??

2)what can she do about it

3)can she file for unemployement

Answer 1

What type of retirement plan did she have? If she paid into it and was vested, then it is still hers even if she is fired. She can try to file for unemployment, but the company will probably contest it.

Answer 2

Judy is correct.

Answer 3

If she meets the requirements of the company plan, she can retire.  If she isn't old enough yet, she is most likely vested in the plan which means she'll be able to collect when she is old enough.

As far as what she can do about being fired, probably nothing.

Unemployment - she can apply.  She might or might not be eligible, since she was fired for cause.

Answer 4

you can be assured that she did not get fired on one thing. she had built up somethign towards that end. i am not sure what she can get if shes fired she maybe done not sure if they will let her retire you have ot ask her.
