Any way to anonymously confirm PBGC Form 500 filing?

[Guest pension222]

I received a call today about a pension plan that was "terminated" back in 1993. The person who called me said that he is not sure that a PBGC Form 500 had ever been filed. Is there any way to anonymously check (maybe via the internet) to see if the PGCG ever received this filing?

I don't think so, and that's based on two ideas:

I don't know about one, and I don't think that PBGC filings are public information. The 5500 filings are public information, and that is why sites such as freeerisa.com can function. I don't think that PBGC filings are public.

Actually, I think freeerisa.com does include an inventory of DB plans that filed with PBGC for termination, but I think the inventory only goes back a year or two. I looked at this once and, as I recall, all that freeerisa.com has is an inventory style listing of the plans, not the actual forms that have been filed. I suspect that a 1993 filing would have long since scrolled off the list.
