Central Pension Fund International Pension Reciprocity for Operating Engineers Every IUOE Local Union pension fund in the Untied States, and four in Canada, are signatory to the International Union of Operating Engineers Pension Reciprocity Agreement. Pursuant to that Agreement each fund provides either Pro Rata reciprocity, or both Pro Rata and Money Follows the Man (MFM) reciprocity, with each of the other signatory funds. Through these reciprocal agreements the possibility for IUOE members to forfeit service earned in any Local Union fund is minimized --- no matter how limited that service may have been. The following Local Unions maintain pension funds which provide one or both types of pension reciprocity: LOCAL UNION NO. | LOCATION | RECIPROCITY TYPE | LOCAL UNION NO. | LOCATION | RECIPROCITY TYPE | | 3 | Sacramento, CA | Pro Rata | 302 | Bothell, WA | Pro Rata | | 4 | Roslindale, MA | Pro Rata & MFM | 324 | Livonia, MI | Pro Rata & MFM | | 12 | Pasadena, CA | Pro Rata | 370 | Spokane, WA | Pro Rata | | 14 | Flushing, NY | Pro Rata & MFM | 428 | Phoenix, AZ | Pro Rata | | 17 | West Seneca, NY | Pro Rata & MFM | 463 | Ransomville, NY | Pro Rata & MFM | | 18 | Cleveland, OH | Pro Rata & MFM | 478 | Hamden, CT | Pro Rata & MFM | | 30 | Richmond Hill, NY | Pro Rata | 487 | Miami, FL | Pro Rata | | 37 | Baltimore, MD | Pro Rata | 513 | Bridgeton, MO | Pro Rata & MFM | | 39 | San Francisco, CA | Pro Rata | 520 | Granite City, IL | Pro Rata | | 57 | Providence, RI | Pro Rata | 542 | Fort Washington, PA | Pro Rata & MFM | | 66 | Monroeville, PA | Pro Rata & MFM | 545 | Syracuse, NY | Pro Rata & MFM | | 68 | West Caldwell, NJ | Pro Rata | 571 | Omaha, NE | Pro Rata | | 77 | Suitland, MD | Pro Rata & MFM | 612 | Tacoma, WA | Pro Rata | | 98 | East Longmeadow, MA | Pro Rata & MFM | 653 | Mobile, AL | Pro Rata | | 101 | Kansas City, MO | Pro Rata & MFM | 701 | Gladstone, OR | Pro Rata | | 106 | Albany, NY | Pro Rata & MFM | 793 | Toronto, ON | Pro Rata | | 115 | Burnaby, BC | Pro Rata | 825 | Springfield, NJ | Pro Rata | | 132 | Charleston, WV | Pro Rata & MFM | 832 | Rochester, NY | Pro Rata & MFM | | 137 | Briarcliff Manor, NY | Pro Rata & MFM | 870 | Saskatoon, SK | Pro Rata | | 150 | Countryside, IL | Pro Rata & MFM | 955 | Edmonton, AB | Pro Rata |
