Contacts for former employees of spinoff and predecessor companies

Advice and reference info from members. (Updated Dec 27, 2020.)  Questions or comments to: info@hpalumni.org

This page is for former employees and retirees of spinoff and predecessor companies such as Agilent, Compaq, Digital, DXC, EDS, Keysight, Micro Focus, Tandem, etc.

If you are also a former employee or retiree of HPInc or HPE, you should also check these contact lists:   Hewlett-Packard Company or HPInc   Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Make sure that every company you worked for (which may include both HPInc and Hewlett Packard Enterprise) has your current postal address. Even if not classified by the company as a "Retiree" or if long gone -- in case of class-action settlements or other issues. Update address at former company

Which HP-related companies am I a retiree or former employee of? (Not always obvious.) Given HP's complex history of acquisitions, divestitures, and spinoffs, the company or companies that you are legally a former employee of may not be obvious. If any doubt, check here: Which Company

HPInc benefits for service at predecessor companies. Of the many Hewlett-Packard predecessor companies, only HP and DEC had retiree healthcare programs. Only HP, DEC, and EDS had pension plans. Over the years, HP, DEC, and EDS set aside money in dedicated trust funds to pay for those programs. Compaq, Tandem, Autonomy, Palm, etc. did not have retiree healthcare or pensions among their benefits programs. Their employees did not have those expectations and there were no corresponding trust funds to pass on to an acquiring company. Therefore, employees of those companies do not get credit under HP's retiree healthcare or pension programs for service at the predecessor company. (Predecessor service does count for FTO.)
