No disclosure of penalty for later enrollment when I was hired. Joined plan 2 yrs after hire date, still no disclosure. Defined benefit plan, non ERISA, private. Must I be penalized in receiving benefits when there was no disclosure of such a penalty at hire date or when I enrolled in the plan?


Non-disclosure of penalty for later enrollment in pension plan when I was hired or even 2 yrs later when I enrolled in the plan: non-ERISA, private defined benefit plan. Do I have right to NOT be penalized?
