Vick, aged 45, has contributed to his company's group pension plan for 20 years, but cannot withdraw from it until he retires. When he first began contributing to the plan, Vick was still single, so he listed his mother, Carla, as beneficiary. In his group pension plan, there is a spousal survivor benefit provision whereby Vick's wife, Brie, would be entitled to a reduced spousal pension benefit (paid monthly) should he predecease her once he's retired.
