Plan Benefits: — A breakdown of the retirement benefits, including a description of the formula used to calculate the pension benefit based on years of service and salary history. — Information on the vesting requirements, including the duration of service necessary to become vested in the plan and obtain a non-forfeitable right to the accrued benefits. — Documentation on the availability and rules surrounding early retirement benefits and how they may affect the pension calculation. — Explanation of the disability retirement benefits and the process for applying and qualifying. 3.
