|
|
so i worked here for 8 months, took a 4 month break, came back, and now i've worked a full year. i'm taking a month off before my new gig.
is there some sort of time limit on the pension funds or will they just keep accruing until i leave? i tried actually calling the pension office, but God forbid someone should actually speak english there.
(yes, i'm a US citizen) |

| If they haven't been paying into the fund, I believe you have up to 3 years to make a claim. |
