Players vested before 1993 are eligible for the Legacy Benefit. This is a monthly benefit that is paid in addition to your pension. Your monthly Legacy Credit Pension payment equals the sum of your Legacy Credits.
| Credited Season | Legacy Credit |
| Before 1975 | $124 |
| 1975 through 1992 | $108 |
Like your pension, the amount of your Legacy Benefit will vary depending on when and how you choose to receive it. You can learn more about the Legacy Benefit, how your timing and form of payment affects your pension payments, and model different payment scenarios on the NFL Player Benefits website.
