The New England Pension Assistance Project serves Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

The Illinois Pension Assistance Project serves the state of Illinois.

Our pension lawyers and counselors can answer your pension questions, free of charge, on any private retirement plan, including:

•      Traditional “defined benefit” pension plans
•      Cash balance and other “hybrid” pension plans
•      401(k), 403(b), and 457 “defined contribution” plans
•      Money purchase and other profit-sharing plans

We also help people with questions on government-sponsored and religiously-affiliated retirement plans.

Request help if:

• you currently live or work in Illinois or the New England states, or if you lived or worked in these states while earning the pension; or
• if the company or pension plan is headquartered or has operations in Illinois or New England, or if it had operations in the region when the pension was earned.
