Studies have shown that even though women have made leaps and strides in the economic workplace they still don't earn as much as their male counterparts. To make sure that women are receiving an adequate pension for retirement may take more planning. Since women tend to earn less then men that may mean that they have less saved for retirement.

· Find out if your Pension Plan is insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation

· Check to see if your Pension Plan will be offset by your Social Security
