1. The pension manager must be maintained even if the previous employer goes bankrupt. If you cannot contact the pension manager, please reach out for assistance through the EBSA website (askebsa.dol.gov) or by phone at 1-866-444-3272.

  2. Keep files of pension and company-related information. If the company no longer exists under its former name, it is important to collect records or evidence of the former company name via the internet. Additionally, if the pension has been abandoned, use the EBSA pension search feature (askebsa.dol.gov/AbandonedPlanSearch/) to check if the pension manager has terminated the pension and to find the manager's contact information.

  3. Be aware of changes when pensions merge. If a pension merges, it is important to carefully check the changed investment direction or benefits and to assess what impact it may have.

  4. If the retirement pension is maintained at the previous job, keep a record of the updated information for the previous employer. Record all changed information, including the previous employer's address, merged company, and employer name, so you can refer to it later.

  5. If you move, update your new address and information with the pension. This is an important procedure to ensure you receive all important notifications or documents related to the pension without missing anything.

Carefully manage and record the above matters to ensure that your retirement pension is properly managed.
