      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      I am writing to complain about Mass Mutual's handling of my 403B retirement account transfer, which I believe violates both our plan administrators guidelines and possibly IRS rules. I initially contacted Mass Mutual to arrange the transfer of my 403B account to a new provider, which was approved by our plan administrator, Omni. During the transfer process, I encountered numerous inconsistencies and obstacles put forth by Mass Mutual, leading to undue hardship and frustration. Specific issues: Unauthorized Transaction Reversal: After successfully transferring my retirement funds to a new provider, Mass Mutual without warning or my consent, reversed the transaction. This act was taken without any prior notification and is concerning both legally and ethically. Misinformation and Inconsistency: Throughout the process, I've received conflicting information from various representatives at Mass Mutual regarding my eligibility for the transfer. Despite multiple confirmations from the plan administrator, ****, that the prerequisites set by Mass Mutual were not required, they continued to deny the transfer based on erroneous criteria. Failure to Comply with Plan Administrator's Guidelines: The plan administrator has confirmed that none of the reasons provided by Mass Mutual (including an old defaulted loan) should prevent the transfer of my retirement funds. Despite this, Mass Mutual has repeatedly used these as grounds for denial. The entire ordeal has spanned over three months and involved at least ten phone calls, each met with inconsistent responses and unnecessary delays. This situation has not only halted my retirement planning but has also led to significant personal distress and confusion. This ordeal has forced me to seek legal counsel. I request BBBs assistance in resolving this matter to ensure Mass Mutual addresses their discrepancies and prevents similar issues for others. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue,*****************************

      do not buy long term care insurance from Mass Mutual because when you file a claim for benefits their business model is to stall, stall, stall, and stall some more. six months have gone by and the claim has not been processed or denied. it does not matter that premiums have been paid for 22 years their business model is to say "NO" even if a licensed nursing home is providing the care that is needed for someone with progressive dementia. they wait for a person to die so they do not have to pay out any benefits. the President ******************************* will not even respond to a complaint letter. He has a flunky call instead because it must not be worth his time to take care of business. Oh yeah, he takes care of the bottom line and his big fat salary and benefits paid for by the customers. ******** should file a class action lawsuit for unpaid benefits. Maybe that would get their attention. They never answwer the phone or return any calls or respond to messages left. Again their business model is to say "NO" without actually having the guts to say it.
