I am 60 and just left my company. I was going to do the defined pension monthly annuity, but our CFO called me and said they are in process of getting ready to offer lump sum option to all former employees who have not yet started the annuity and are eligible. He said they won't have the amount till September, and if I start the annuity, I won't be eligible for the lump sum. Does this sound fishy? I did not plan for no income and can't make an informed decision without the lump sum number. I worked there 30 years. Advice?
