[Ipg-smz] Two lumps of "retirement" coal in my holiday stocking

[David Needle]

I recently applied for social security - yeah, I'm that old. Sigh. But not
retiring.

Anyway, I just received two letters from the Social Security Administration
headed
*Potential Private Retirement Benefit Information. *

Each one begins: *"We are writing to tell you that you, or the worker whose
Social Security number appears at the top of this form, MAY be entitled to
some retirement benefits from a private employer .*

Long story short, one letter says there is a "value" of $18,376 in a
retirement account connected to CMP Publications reported in 1998 and the
other lists $34,687 from Computer Currents Publishing reported in 1996.

Both of those companies are long gone so I assume this is just some
unresolved accounting by Social Security. While I don't remember these
exacty figures, I did have a 401K at both companies so I assume that is
what is this is in reference to and the money isn't actually owed to me or
even exists anywhere as I would have rolled it over long ago.

Oh well, got excited there for a minute.
