How to update former employers with your postal address (Updated
Jul 24, 2020.)
Make sure that the legal successor to every company you ever worked for has your current postal address.
Even if not classified by the company as a "Retiree" or
if long gone -- in case of pension plan changes, employment
lawsuits, settlements, or other issues.
HP Breakup. On Nov 1, 2015, the legal name of the Hewlett-Packard Company was changed to HP Inc.
and a new, completely separate company -- Hewlett Packard
Enterprise (no hyphen; singular; green-rectangle logo) -- was
spun out. Portions
of HPE were later spun out into DXC and Micro Focus, which have spun out other separate companies. Details:
HP Breakup
HP Inc. is the legal successor to the companies acquired by Hewlett-Packard before the company was split into HP Inc. and
Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Responsibility for commitments to former employees
of Compaq, EDS, etc.
remain with HP Inc. -- regardless of whether the employee's last business unit ended up in HP or HPE. Includes employment verification and
any retiree health, pension, etc. plans.
