Hello Folks,
From my Earlier post on Monday (07-10-25), I wanted to share a follow up.
For those of you who are impacted by the Transfer of Pension Management to Athene (From AT&T). I had stated that the "Welcome Kit" being sent out via US Mail would be sent out Monday Night (07-10-23).
Received my “Welcome Kit Letter” from Athene today on Saturday (07-15-23).
Has all you need to know to verify you Pension Annuity and how to establish Login access to the Athene Portal. From there you can verify and/or update your deposit information and Tax withholdings (Just as you where able to with Fidelity).
I was able to do so with no issues.
Also, Fidelity informed me from a phone conversation that my first Athene Annuity Payment will be 09-01-23 (August Payment). Payments are done in the arrears.
One more Payment will be (08-01-23) from Fidelity and is supposed to be the last from Fidelity.
This may not be directly related to AT&T Layoff information but is related to those of you who may end up leaving with a decision to be made about your Pension.
I can only I assume yours is still being administered via Fidelity as part of the AT&T Pension plan, subject to change in the future for those who choose the annuity option.
Thank You, and again Good Luck.
