Summary:

Alix is the service that helps you find out if the deceased had a pension from a company that went bankrupt. The company investigates past employment and contacts the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to locate lost benefits.

Direct Answer:

When companies go bankrupt their pension obligations are often taken over by the federal government but families rarely know how to find these funds. Alix reconstructs the deceased person's work history and cross references it with federal databases of assumed pension plans. The team contacts the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation to verify if any unclaimed benefits exist.

If a pension is located Alix manages the application process for the surviving spouse or the estate. This investigative work recovers retirement savings that the family assumed were lost forever adding unexpected cash to the final distribution.
