Maybe, but when I left CMP in ’99 (after 11 years there), I think they paid out or transferred profit-sharing along with everything else. At least I think they said that they did that.

Dave, CMP had profit sharing, in addition to 401k, until, I’m thinking, the early 2000s. It could be that.

I was at InformationWeek 1994 - 1996 when it was still, I think, CMP Publications, Inc. I'm not sure why this form states 1998 as "year reported". Perhaps it took that long to report this to Social Security?

Also curious: If I recall correctly, CMP Publications didn’t exist in ’98. It would have been CMP Media by then.

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.
