My megacorp is the same. Being an "old fart" I get a full DB pension plus health insurance at 55. Should be approx $50k/year

My previous 2 megacorp ompanies are in exactly the same situation and being an "old fart" I'm grandfathered in, I am receiving one of my pensions now ($5k/year) but cannot get the other one until I'm 65 ( approx $12k/year and it is COLA'ed).

I think only about 25% of companies that used to offer DB plans still do, and that number is probably still falling.
