PensionSearch

Working to end the “lost pension” problem in America

Many people work long enough for one or more employers to earn a pension benefit, but leave that job many years before reaching retirement age.  In the interim, those people can move, change names or leave the workforce. Companies relocate and change names too. Companies will merge with other companies, split into multiple companies, or go out of business altogether. All of this activity can result in lost pensions for participants and lost participants for companies. PensionSearch will help.
