Legal Question in Administrative Law in California
I left the employment of Hilton Hotels Corporation in 1996. I received a letter informing me of the monthly benefit I would receive when I retire. Last year I contacted the office of Hilton's Retire Benefits Administration and they informed me that my benefit would now be cut to nearly 1/2 of the original amount stated in the original letter from 1996. When I questioned this change, they stated that during the time when I terminated my employment they were calculating benefits based on a certain scale. A few years later, they noticed that the calculation were made using an incorrect calculation method and then changed to another system hence dropping my benefit in half. I have all the correspondence and their explanation regarding the discrepancy. Do I have any recourse or possibility to force Hilton to reinstate my original amount based on the letter they provided me at the time of my departure from Hilton? I don't know what area of law this would be under.
Thank you,
Robert J.

Sorry, we aren't allowed to answer questions that identify parties or potential parties to litigation. You may re-ask, but don't name the employer.
The only advice you are going to get from here is to consult with a pension and benefits lawyer about the issues. If you can't find one, contact the local Lawyers Referral Service and ask for names.
