Benefits Counseling is available to members planning on retiring soon. A representative from the Benefits Office will come to your Local Union Hall to meet with you (and your spouse, if applicable). During the counseling session, the Benefits Counselor will explain the different benefit options available to you and assist you with the completion of the necessary paperwork, including the Pension Application. You do not have to submit your Pension Application prior to the meeting.
Ohio Laborers Benefits recommends scheduling a Benefits Counseling appointment about 90 days prior to when you’d like to being receiving your pension.
You can call the Pension Department at 800-236-6437 to schedule your appointment.
