Disability Pension Benefits.

  • 1.  Disability Pension Benefits.

    Hello listmates,

    Client's husband became disabled from his job approximately 10 months ago and he just received $24,400 as a lump sum payment in "disability pension payments" for that time period.  Six months of the disability was during the marriage.  Husband just retired and I am assuming that is why he received the payment. 

    Q - Is the wife entitled to any of the monies as a form of equitable distribution?   I am not sure what the money actually represents or how they were categorized by the union.  Cases or any assistance would be truly appreciated.

    Best,

    Eric B. Hannum, Esquire
