Does this even make sense. I received a notice/letter/request in the mail from a pension plan with a previous employer.
It said something along the lines - a recent important document was mailed to you and returned to us as no longer at this address regarding your pension plan. Please fill out the following form with your new address.
OK this could make sense as we had moved a little less than two years ago. BUT then how the heck were they able to send this letter and form to my NEW address (that is where it was addressed to my current address)?
So some how they have my current address - I still have some 401k and other retirement stuff with them so they have my current address through those accounts. Wouldn't it make more sense just to send me the stuff to my current address?
I know this isn't a scam sort of thing as the return envelope is where the company is located.
I'm not sure things are supposed to make sense. I get mail at a post office address, my bank sends all correspondence to the po box EXCEPT anything regarding my IRA account. It can take weeks to get here. There might have been times when it didn't get here at all. Banks and post offices don't always have a lot of smarts.

@Linkat,
Almost all of these mailings from financial companies have a "Return Service Requested" endorsement. When the letter gets to the old address, it is returned to the sender along with the new address. I'm guessing the company has your address via the post office but needs you to make it official before they can put it in their system.

@Region Philbis,
No - it was simply sent to my new address. And all it was - is a letter stating they received the mail back with a form to fill out with my previous and new address. I actually work so close to them I can walk it over now.
