( 二)A pension is the money that a worker or his or her family receives after a worker retires, is unable to work or dies. People have pension plans from working in private industry, in the armed forces or in government. People can also establish their own pension plans. Many of those who create their own plans work for themselves or for a company that does not provide a pension plan. Reports say most American workers have some kind of pension plans.
