Stock. Due to the sequence of spinoffs and acquisitions, you may now have shares of HPInc (HPQ), HPE, DXC, Keysight (KEYS), and/or Agilent (A) – in different accounts – and may not have received cash payouts for Micro Focus (MFGP) and Perspecta (PRSP). Transactions were often tracked and reported differently – or not at all. Only you – not the company, plan administrators, transfer agents, brokers, or the IRS – can reconstruct your full employee stock history. Find it all – and verify or estimate your current cost basis: HP/HPE-related stock 

Keep address current on every financial account. Run easy unclaimed property search every year. Neither cashing dividend checks, receiving direct deposits, online access, nor receiving statements prevents inactive accounts from being turned over to the state – only a personally-initiated transaction, postal response, or call. Difficult to retrieve money; stock is sold. Check for Unclaimed Property
