The Pension Maximization Plan Advantage
If your personal, lifestyle, and financial objectives align positively with the What Is
Important To You section, then this table approximates the advantage your own
PenMax Plan may have over the KPERS Joint & Survivor Options. KPERS ceases
Maximum Monthly Benefit retirement payments to the retiree at his death, and likewise, ceases all
J & S retirement payments upon the death of the survivor (retiree/spouse).
However, it is likely that under your Pension Maximization Plan there would still be a large
sum which could be used to benefit whomever you wish. The approximate range of
value is shown in the columns titled "PenMax Advantage" below.
It is this amount that may be "left on the table" simply by ignoring the opportunity, or
being unable to qualify for it.
