Can you claim a pension payment from Cigna Insurance for 10 years service from 1974 to 1984 My contributions were returned with no interest on leaving but nothing from the company contributions?

If you worked for INA before the merger with Connecticut General, you were covered under a non contributory pension plan. That is, the Company paid for the plan 100%. You earned 2% each year of your average of you last 3 years salary. Therefore, for the 10 years you worked you earned a pension equal to 20% of the average of you last 3 years. This benefit is reduced by 1/2 of the Social Security benefit. Benefits are payable on a reduced basis at age 55. You need to contact Prudential Insurance who now handles the CIGNA plan.

If you worked for CG before the merger, I cannot help you. However, Prudential can help as they now handle the pension for former employees like you.
