I don't think Kmart wants to pay anyone any benefits they have earned. I applied for my pension in July of 2011. They had me as unmarried. I was taking the single life annuity so marriage wasn't an issue. In November of 2011 I contacted them as I hadn't received anything or heard anything from them. I was told I had to submit the paperwork on my marriage and have it notarized. I did that and sent it in. Now it is March of 2012 and I still haven't heard or received anything. You can not get through to them on phone because they keep you on hold for a long time. Like 30 minutes or longer. Who has time to sit around with a phone up to your ear all day? I am very frustrated to say the least.
