Pension Counseling Projects
The Administration on Aging (AoA) has been involved in pension issues since the 1992 amendments to the Older Americans Act. The AoA pension information and counseling projects provide free pension and retirement savings plan counseling and assistance.
The AoA currently funds six regional counseling projects, each of which is required to provide the core services for individuals who need help in understanding and enforcing their pension and retirement savings plan rights.
Since its inception in 1993, the Pension Counseling Project has successfully obtained nearly $60 million in retirement benefits for the thousands of clients served by this important program. The outreach and education extended through AoA's Pension Counseling Program have been highlighted in local and national articles, including the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and USA Today.
Below is a listing of the six regional pension counseling and information projects. Contact information for each project may be found by clicking on the links below:
