Information from EDS alumni for EDS alumni
-- whether or not you ever worked for HP...
Key: HP Inc is the legal successor to EDS -- not
subsequent successor companies such as HPES, Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, DXC, etc. -- and has responsibility for any
commitments to former EDS employees. (Does not depend on
whether your last business unit subsequently ended up in HP
Inc or Hewlett Packard Enterprise in the
HP Breakup.)
Contacting HP. First, which Company
am I a retiree or former employee of?
Given HP's complex history of acquisitions, divestitures,
and spinoffs, the company that you are legally a former employee of may
not be obvious.
Before contacting one of the HP-related companies, check here:
Which
Company
Make sure that HP Inc has
your current mailing address.
Even if not classified by the company as a "Retiree" or
if you are long gone from the company. (For example, some may have
missed out on wage-and-hour class-action settlements.)
The company will only update payroll records.
It is your responsibility to notify the Benefits Center,
Fidelity, etc. -- and watch your subsequent paperwork to
verify that changes have actually been made in every
database.
