Just got a letter from the SS administration stating that I have retirement benefits due from a previous employer. The letter looks legit based on the information listed. I worked as an engineer in aerospace back in the 80's and early 90's, never worked directly for the employer listed (Raytheon) on the SS form but they did take over the company I worked for shortly after I left. What I find strange is I'm certain I opted out of the defined pension plan when I started working, didn't expect to stay very long, so went the IRA/401K route for my retirement savings. Not certain why I would get the benefit and it's not a huge amount (~$110K), will have to contact Raytheon benefits office next week to get to the bottom of it. Anyone else ever run into something similar?
