LGBT Older Adults and Pensions

![]() ![]() LGBT older adults are often denied pension plan options that provide financial protections for a surviving partner - even though LGBT employees earn their pensions through the same hard work and financial contributions as their heterosexual counterparts. The lack of pension income can devastate a surviving partner in the event of a death, especially given that LGBT elders are poorer and less financially secure than American elders as a whole. Even when both partners are healthy, LGBT older adults are denied the peace of mind that comes from knowing that a surviving partner will receive an adequate living income upon the death of the pension holder. One of eleven issue briefs based on the SAGE/MAP report Improving the Lives of LGBT Older Adults. ![]() |
