Pension from Sears through PBGC

By Terry Savage on October 12, 2025 | Wild Card

I’m retired at age 67 recently. I have my chicken money and investments and collect my deceased husband, Social Security. I have this pension from Sears and I was considering starting it in February or should I wait until I’m 70? Or does it make sense to start taking it now?

Please go immediately to this page for more information on your Sears pension:
https://www.pbgc.gov/Questions-and-Answers-for-Sears-Participants

You’ll want to contact them immediately to make sure you did not miss any registration deadlines, and to find out how much money they will be sending you. I do not believe there is any reason to delay further. Please write back and let me know how this gets resolved.
