“A pension with 1199 is for a lifetime, versus if you have a 401K account, that goes out. It’s guaranteed every month for a certain time, but once that money runs out—it runs out.”

Daniel Midouin, Anesthesia Technician

Good Samaritan Hospital

When we join 1199, we have the option to negotiate which pension plan we want: our current plan or the 1199SEIU Pension Plan, one of the best in the country.

If we choose the 1199 pension, we can keep all the retirement money we currently have invested and continue to earn more. We become vested in the 1199 Pension Plan after 5 years of service based on our date of hire from Phelps Hospital and have guaranteed yearly payments for the rest of our lives when we retire.
