Your check will be
mailed on the last business day of the month and will be
delivered by
the Post Office. If you have signed up for Direct Deposit, your pension
payment is electronically transmitted and is in your account on the
first business day of the month. If the first of the month is a weekend
or holiday, you may have to wait for mail delivery or until the first
business day of the month before your bank gives you access to the
funds. No checks will be issued before the first day of the month.
We urge all pensioners
to select the direct deposit method as the safest and most efficient
means of transferring your pension money from the Plan to your bank
account. Your benefit will be available to you on the opening of
business on the first day of each month and there is no chance of your
check becoming lost in the mail. To enroll in direct deposit, go to Forms and
print out the Pension
direct deposit form, and mail the completed signed form back to HRSA-ILA
Participant Services Department.
