DOE Should Be Ashamed
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007I have added your blog as a favorite. I retired about 8 or 9 years ago. Took a VRIF and the level income option. When I turned 62 I started taking Social Security and my pension went down to approximately $318 per month (which is rediculous in itself). Anyway I have had NO cost of living increases in all that time. Right now my net monthly pension benefit is approximately $65 after medical and dental are deducted. Effective Jan 2008 after the latest medical insurance increase I will owe money each month to pay medical and dental- my pension benefits are GONE except for the medical and dental insurance. THIS IS A COMPLETE INJUSTICE AND INSULT to an employee of 22 years. Obviously I feel like I am being denied what was supposed to become the "golden years". Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who might be able to "actually help" (but not to those who just say they will but never really do anything.
Thanks,
Ken Murphy
