Stock:  Links and HPAA member advice on Agilent and Keysight stock: Agilent Stock
You may now have stock in HP, HPE, Agilent, Keysight, or DXC in various accounts – and may not have received cash payouts for Micro Focus and Perspecta. Due to spinoffs and splits, current cost basis depends on when you acquired each block of shares. Members have found that plan administrators, transfer agents, and brokerages vary significantly in how (or if) they track gain/loss and cost basis for the many complex HP-related stock events -- and what (if anything) they report to the IRS. Stock Recovery and Cost Basis

Key: Agilent is the legal successor to the Hewlett-Packard business units -- instrument, medical, analytical, component, etc. -- that were that were transferred to Agilent on May 2, 2000. In general, responsibility for commitments to former employees of those business units rests with Agilent. (In turn, Keysight is now the legal successor to the HP/Agilent/Keysight instrument business.)

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. Update address at former company

Former employee or retiree of which company? (Includes any retiree health coverage, pension, 401(k), etc. )

- Left the Hewlett-Packard Company before the May 2, 2000 Agilent spinoff and had worked in the HP businesses that became Agilent -- instrument, medical, analytical, component, etc. -- classified as a former employee or retiree of Agilent and sent a notice at that time. HPAA's Agilent page: https://www.hpalumni.org/agilent  

- If worked in the HP or Agilent instrument business, reclassified in the Nov 1, 2014 Keysight spinoff as a former employee or retiree of Keysight and sent a notice at that time.
