Outstanding Checks


Recommended Posts

We have just been informed by our record keeper that a distribution check has been outstanding for 18 months!

What should I do?

Sure I'm going to reissue but am I liable legally to give earnings on that amount?

Why don't you try to contact the person to whom the check was sent? I wouldn't issue another check until I attempted to talk to the that person to find what the story is. It semm obviuos that the check was not returned because it was undeliverable? So you must have a good address.

Thanks Kip!

We have contacted the individual and reissued the check. We don't know why it wasn't delivered. My concern is from a fiduciary stand point. Am I under an obligation to review my outstandings (18 months is a long time)? Am I obligated to provide earnings for those 18 months? Does ERISA have any guidence other than being prudent?
