In a Nutshell: Pensions help supplement the Social Security income of millions of retirees each year and were supposed to be paid out in full when a worker reached retirement. However, many workers who are owed benefits have found them dramatically reduced, or denied altogether. The Pension Rights Center is a public policy advocacy group and consumer organization dedicated to protecting the retirement security and pension benefits of workers who have earned them. The organization advocates for pension reform legislation and offers resources and access to free legal advice for anyone having problems accessing the benefits they deserve.
