Here’s What We Know
Former players who played at least 3 years in the ABA (were on a roster, active or IR, and under contract with an ABA team, for at least 50% of the games during each of 3 seasons) and never vested in an NBA pension benefit at any time.
Somewhere between $319 and $400 per month, per season of ABA play (as defined above), depending on whether the player has previously received an ABA-related pension payout. The NBA has not informed us of how this will be determined, so we don’t yet know whether any payout you’ve received in the past applies.
Beyond this, DDF has no input, control, or information regarding who is eligible, when payments will begin, who will receive how much, how they will be paid, or whether there will be survivor benefits (we understand there will not be).
All questions should be directed to the NBA.
We are grateful beyond measure for those who support the ABA cause.
