All of the records concerning my employment with the pension plan sponsor and my participation in the pension plan were destroyed as a result of the events of September 11th. What do I do?
You should search your personal records for any material or documents that would help to establish your employment and participation in the plan. Look for pay statements and W-2 forms showing that you were covered under a plan and the amount you may have contributed to the plan. You also may have benefit or account statements issued by the plan that you may be keeping with your important papers. For example, many 401(k) plans distribute regular account statements. These records may show the names of the investment vehicles in which your 401(k) account was invested. When you began employment with the employer sponsoring the plan, you may have been given an employee handbook and beneficiary designation forms to complete. You may have copies of these that may also help to establish your rights under the plan.
