Re: union health ins. plan

You asked about a discrepancy in the amount deducted from a pension payment.

I won't go into the law about this, but you will have to pay them back (assuming they are correct). The good news is that they can only look back two years and, unless it is a diminimus amount, they must accept payments in the same form they were paid out.

In other words, they can take the money out of future payments only in the same amounts that they were over-paid and over the same period of time.

Regards,

Roger
