Is it legal for a company to withhold information concerning my pension?

I no longer work there and have been asking about the pension for over 7 months. Just something telling me what I have as far as my pension. They claim they don’t know and keep giving me the runaround.

Under the laws of all states as well as federal law, if you have a pension with your former employer, you are entitled to have your questions answered with respect to it within a reasonable amount of time. Seven (7) months is just not a reasonable amount of time.

I suggest that if you want your questions answered you make a complaint against your former employer with the nearest department of labor.
