Is it possible to buy back my IBM vested rights?

Craig_Alan_Thompson · 2020-01-23 04:46:27

I left IBM in 1990. I was vested for their pension plan but opted out for $2K. I was young and ignorant of what I opted out of. I have heard that there is the possibility of buying my vesting / pension back. Is this an option? If so, what is the process and cost?

Why ask on a public forum at all? Surely contacting IBM would be your best bet?
