Was at EY for 6 years (left 2019) and the pension payout was 50K.... decent chunk of change
I had about 25k in 4.5 years with a very tiny salary of less than 80k
Please take the fake money and give it to me. It will delight me.
OP, you probably wont be able to withdraw it now. You can only keep it as pension. You need to withdraw that money 6 months after you leave the firm
Very helpful, just followed the steps. Call 877-339-1239 for alight, who are the retirement/pension admins. They will ask for details including the account number where the money needs to be rolled over to. Register on digital.alight.com/EY/ as this is where they send an authorization form which needs to be filled, notarized and sent back. Once they receive the authorization form, will take them up to 90 days to mail the physical check across. $76K after 7.5 years, not a bad chunk of change for sure!
Not bad but seems kind of low. I worked at EY for 4.5 yrs and my payout was 95k 
You would have to find out who administers EYs pension fund and create an account there.
Why do you feel like it’s fake money?
Because I haven’t received a communication on it in 4 years and I guess I forgot about the money. I also don’t know how to access anything about the account. I literally know nothing about it. It’s on me, I lost track of it.
Same situation and I just called yesterday...2 options
1) call EYhelp3 and talk to the pension/hr team
2) register at this website digital.alight.com/ey
It’s engraved in my brain lol 
Why did you refuse the buyout?
Would it have been money up front or would you still have to wait to retire?
Yeah it was a lump sum up front. The buyout was discounted at a rate that made it only a few thousand dollars after tax. I didn’t need the money so figured Id let it sit and have the extra few hundred dollars a month at retirement. Forgot about it since then and now just trying to even access the account somewhere.
Call the number available on the portal
What portal?
Thank you for this, exactly what I needed
Next time read your mails
This post gets shared every so often for whatever reason so figured I’d update it. I called and they won’t give me the money until I’m 65 years old, no option of an early lump sum.
If anyone else has a different experience, I’d definitely be interested
