  2. Or call the plan administrator listed on the plan below ((773) 695-5483). That number was filed for 2024; ask for the benefits or retirement plan office.
  3. For a pension the PBGC took over, call the PBGC at 1-800-400-7242 or search its unclaimed pensions. Have the plan name and your Social Security number ready.
