A relative of mine is a professor at BYU, and has been there for 25 years. Will he get a pension when he retires?

Yes. The amount depends on the amount of money the person made during her/his tenure in CES, and length of time spent working. (includes all the BYUs: Provo, Idaho, Hawaii, etc.)

I left CES after 27 years, at age 52, and will receive a partial pension.

There is also a retirement savings program.

Added to SS, it ought to provide a comfortable income after retirement.

Problems occur when investments in the retirement savings program tank. But everyone deals with that unless they get lucky.

Thank you for the information.

the temp GA (those below the top 15) for the time they served as GA's before being told they are now emeriti?

BYU employees have both a pension (defined benefit plan) and the opportunity to contribute to a 401k with an employer match. Kind of a hybrid system.

My father ran a church farm. Has a pension and full medical bennies for him and my mother.
