Back to blog

I too have been trying to contact Wamu pension and have found the number disconnected and the website not working. Are we all just out of luck when it comes to our pensions promised to us in writing. I received letters, a balance amount of my annuity and now that I have become of age to begin receiving it everything is gone. Does anyone know what happened?

I received a letter from Wamu stating I have a pension plan from when I worked for home savings and Wa. It states a monthly payment but also that I had a cash balance. At the end of the letter it states JP Morgan would contact me to have access to my plan online at the end of March. It is now April 12th and I have not received any kind of contact. Who can I contact about this? Does anyone even respond to these post on here?

I was employed by Washington Mutual from 1970 to 1989, when I left employment I received the cash value of the current plan, but I believe I may have been covered under the previous plan which would provide me a monthly pension after age 65. I am currently 65 and would like to know if there is a contact that could assist me.

I was a GWB employee with a deferred comp plan. I just rec'd a ltr from Chase saying that although they were not obligation, they were going to make payments
to individuals who were covered pursuant to the plan of reorganization of Wamu as approved by the BK Court. What they are offering is a oke - - 8 cents on the dollars. Does anybody know anything about this or is anyone in the same boat as me?

I'm a former Home Savings of America employee, whose pension was transferred to WAMU. I hope to retire in 5 years. Does anyone know for sure if that group of people will collect pension money?

I left the company in August 2010, I received my pension paperwork and my benefits were set for December 1, 2010 payout. Come December 1st no payout, then I was told January 1, 2011, now Im told it has been restricted. I was just wondering if anone has received their Wamu pension?

I am so disapointed that I have not received any of MY pension.......I put in over 30 years, including my time with Great Western Bank, my amount is so small, so I think it would only be fair to give me my funds from the pension, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kerry, why would you do such a thing, shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a former WaMu employee. I learned that some people have been paid their pension and some are still waiting. This is weird because everyone should be paid or no one at all.
