Just to clarify, my comment re:401k is for US EE’s.
You don’t have a “pension”!!! That is a fixed monthly amount for life, or a “defined benefit” program. You have a 401k, which is a defined contribution program. Under that, you have to decide the withdrawal rate and live on that until it runs out. You better become an advocate for the stability of Social Security or you’ll be in destitute poverty.
Yea it's on the bottom of Millers shoe.
You should get something depending on how much you expect. The Halliburton retirement plan is covered by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., A US Gov't Agency. https://www.pbgc.gov/
Benefits PBGC Guarantees
PBGC guarantees the "basic benefits" you earned before your pension plan’s termination date (or the date your employer’s bankruptcy proceeding began, if applicable) up to legal limits set by Congress. Benefits include:
Pension benefits at normal retirement age
Most early retirement benefits
Annuity benefits for survivors of plan participants
Disability benefits (see exception below)
The PBGC also has limits to how much they pay out which can be found on tables on the website. It is fairly straight forward and easy to figure out, but would likely be less than you are expecting for your 100% payout if you have been with HAL for a long, long time.
