On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we are excited to announce that the Pension Fund now has a new and improved website at MyCentralStatesPension.org! The Fund has worked diligently to create a more user-friendly, intuitive website that makes handling your pension benefits easier than ever for members and for Local Unions. With enhanced navigation, streamlined information, and additional tools, our members will find it simpler to access important details, track benefits, and plan for the future. The website works great on a phone or tablet. New branding includes changes to our logo which highlights our 70-year history; along with updated colors, images, and typeface.

There is also an improved Local Union portal that lists your recently retired members, and your members who have recently passed away. In addition, the portal continues to allow a Local to see the work history of a member, and project benefits to assist them. Finally, there are links to downloadable brochures that highlight the benefits of having a solid retirement investment of a lifetime Central States monthly pension benefit. The brochures are an excellent tool to provide employers when negotiating retirement security for the next generation of your Teamster members. Top features of the site include:

• Benefit Estimator – users can estimate future pension benefits.
• Pension Application – users ready to retire can apply online with our pension application.
• Helpful Resources – users can access a glossary, how-to guides, and important FAQs.
• Forms & Documents – important forms related to the users’ benefits.

If your Local Union does not have a sign-in for the Local Union page, please contact your Field Service Representative, or any of us listed below. We look forward to your comments and suggestions as we continue to improve the site to meet the needs of our Local Union partners.
