The term "locked-in" confuses many people. If you have contributed to a pension plan for years and you find the company you were employed by is closing, downsizing, etc. - you have options. (1) You may leave your pension plan where it is and rely on the pension administration to-invest your portion of the plan appropriately. OR (2) You may take your portion of the funds from .the pension plan and invest as you wish. "Locked-in" does.not .mean you cannot transfer these funds. It simply means your pension plan is "locked-in" for a certain number of years - as designated by your Pension Plan itself. . . For example, at age .65 you may'begin to draw on your pension. You may not take all the money out in a lump sum - restrictions exist. The fundamental reason for these restrictions is this pension money was meant to be used as an income upon retirement and remains as such, whether you chose a maximum monthly or annual payout,.. Once you have reached a certain age your locked-in pension must be converted to either a life annuity or a life income fund.
