Question
I was laid off by AT&T in 1988 with 16 years of service. I have some vested pension benefits that will be available to me in 5 years at age 65. I am curious where to go to find out my status and if there are any things I need to do at this stage.
I don't think you have to do anything at this time. If you want to check your status or have other questions, you should contact the Plan Administrator for the plan. You should be getting some papers from the Plan Administrator each year. These should give you the contact information.
