"My father has worked for more than one employer in which he was to receive pension benefits. Unfortunately, for nothing less than not being notified, he never contacted a former employer about beginning his pension payments at 70.5 years of age. Recently the company sent paperwork saying that he is required to begin receive these benefits; however, I fear that he may be penalized by the IRS.
At no point before receiving this letter, the company nor pension company ever communicated with my father about taking these benefits."
