Most participants take advantage of the Plans’ convenient direct deposit option, which remits your pension payment directly into your bank account each month. However, the Pension Plan can only deposit funds directly to a bank that has an American Bankers Association (ABA) routing number.
If your bank does not have an ABA routing number, you can receive your pension benefits via check.
You can transfer funds from a qualified retirement account into your Supplemental Plan account (see the rollovers page for more information).
If you would like to transfer funds from a qualified retirement account into your Supplemental Plan account, the funds must originate from a qualified U.S. account. We cannot accept rollovers from a foreign retirement account.
Conversely, the rollovers out of your DGA–Producer Pension Plan account must be made to a U.S. account. We cannot roll over funds into a foreign account or pension plan.
