    Question Pension Benefits Not Payable

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Illinois
    Hello, I hope this is in the correct forum. My wife applied for death benefits from her fathers pension union and was declined because he had not filled out a beneficiary form is there any recourse or does the pension fund just get to keep the money now? He had more than 25 years in the fund.
    Thank you,
    R.Butler

    Usually the benefits from a pension would go to a surviving spouse. Since your wife is the daughter you would need to hire an attorney.

    And since her father did not list her as a beneficiary it may be very hard for her to get the pension if not impossible.

    This is not like life insurance, again an attorney may be able to help her.

    There are pension attorneys if you can find one. You can ask your local bar assoc. if they can give you a referral.
