Advisory Council on Employee Welfare and Pension Benefit Plans Report

This document is about a report by the Advisory Council on Employee Welfare and Pension Benefit Plans that explores whether there are circumstances under which a defined benefit or defined contribution pension plan might consider voluntary transfers of uncashed distribution checks to a state unclaimed property program in order to reunite participants and beneficiaries who cannot be found or who are nonresponsive with their retirement savings. The report provides recommendations to the Department of Labor on this issue.
