Marshall Field &
Company Pension
Plan For Employees
How long will you receive the Com
pany pension?
Every month as long as you live sub
ject to certain conditions to be explain
ed later.
Will any death benefits be paid under
the Pension Flan?
No. However, you can participate in
the Group Life Insurance which is
available to employees of all divi
sions of the Company, jind provide
death benefits in that manner. There is
no direct connection between the Pen
sion Plan and the Group Insurance.
May you arrange that after your
death a pension be continued for your
wife or another person?
Yes. You have the option to name
either your husband or wife, or another
person whom you help to support, so
that payments will continue to that
person after your death, if you die
after your Normal Retirement Date, and
have actually retired. Your monthly
check will, of course, be smaller than
if the pension were to be paid only
during your life. If you want to name
such a person you must do so before
you retire and at least two years before
your Normal Retirement Date.
Will the pension be paid to you even
if you take another job after you have
retired from Marshall Field & Company?
Yes. Monthly pension payments will
be made, regardless of what you do
after retirement. However, you will not
receive Social Security benefits if you
take a job covered by the Social Se
curity Act and earn $50, or more, a
month. When you reach your 75th
birthday, you may earn any amount
and still get Social Security benefits.
