Stop in for a cup of coffee

I wonder if there’s a way to shelter that a bit? Like I know you can roll a pension payout into an IRA and avoid a part of the taxes, I think it’s around 20k. But it has to be done in very short amount of time. I don’t know, I think that was highway robbery on AT&T’s part. Courts shouldn’t have allowed that one.
So what happened, New hires had no retirement at all, going forward. The union wanted these employees to have SOME kind of retirement because there were more of these then us, And they wanted the new employees to pay the union dues, we were not paying anymore when we left company. So The union agreed to throw the older people under the bus, and just give us a shitty payout. 25 years with ATT. NO retirement!!!! Who would have thought that!!!:BangHead::BangHead:
