Information from EDS alumni for EDS alumni
-- whether or not you ever worked for HP...
Key: HPInc is the legal successor to EDS.
Responsibility was not transferred to subsequent successor
companies such as HPES, Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, DXC, etc. HPInc has responsibility for any
commitments to former EDS employees. This includes any
retiree health coverage, pension, 401(k), etc. plans. (Does
not depend on
whether the employee's last business unit ended up in HPInc or Hewlett Packard Enterprise in the
HP Breakup.)
Make sure that 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 from the company -- in case of class-action
settlements or pension issues. Update
address at former company
If you received a "Potential Private Retirement Benefit Information"
notice from Social Security, it is usually based on outdated information
-- as indicated by the "Year Reported" date on the form included in the
body of the notice. Here's how to decode it:
