THE FOLLOWING IS FROM A FELLOW RETIREE:

This may be old info to you, or something you've already handled, OR it might uncover some surprise funds for you.

I think everyone who had 401-K funds inside their LTSPME Plan administered by Fidelity Investments probably received correspondence from Fidelity a few months ago indicating you could withdraw or remain a participant in a Class Action Suit against AT&T Corp.  Also indicated you would be entitled to receive benefits from the proposed settlement IF you had an investment in the AT&T Stock Fund between Sept. 1999 and Dec. 2000.  Apparently AT&T had agreed to create a settlement fund of 29 million $$ to compensate the participants of the Class Action Suit.  A New Jersey Court was supposed to approve or reject that proposed settlement on Sep 19, 2005.  Would appear they did approve and finalize the settlement on/about that time.

Some retired & former participants in the LTSPME Plan received other correspondence from Fidelity referring to an update to the AT&T U.S. Equity Fund.  Was a rather confusing bit of information, but suggested a call to the AT&T Savings Plan Center if you had questions.  A former co-worker, retired since 1989 did call the 1-800-610-7100 phone #, discovered he had a bit over $2300. in his old Fidelity account that he assumed was zero, since he had rolled those 401-K funds to another custodian some 10 years ago.  Has since received those funds minus 20% withholding for FIT. Plans to hand deliver those proceeds to the current custodian of their Self Directed IRA Accounts

I have since called Fidelity and found I have some $960. in their accounts even though I rolled the entire values in their accounts to another custodian in 2003.  Another retiree who left his 401-K invested with Fidelity since 1989 found his account had suddenly increased in value by some $960. apparently added to his account as a result of the settlement.

At this time, we have no earthly idea how the $$ amounts credited to the old accounts were determined, or why there is significant differences in the amounts.  May be determined by ONLY the amount invested in the AT&T Stock Fund during the Sep 99 & Dec 2000 timeframe, and possibly nothing to do with our investments in the US Equity Fund or the US Fixed Income Fund. Good chance those funds were renamed 1-2 times probably dropping the "US" from the names.

If you choose to call Fidelity at the 1-800-610-7100 -- Think you will find your old PIN will not work and you cannot determine much from their automated TT System. Touching the "O" button seems to get a CSR in pretty short order. Appears they need to confirm your SS#, DOB, Mailing Address (and Bell System Service Date) to discuss any account balance or explain your withdrawal options.

If you are past age of 70 1/2 they must send you the amount required as a Mandatory Withdrawal for 2006 on your first call.

You can call the next day, request remainder of the funds, less 20% FIT be sent direct to you, OR rolled over to another custodian you might have an IRA account with. Suspect you would need to provide address, your account #, Tax id, ect. for the new custodian if you want them to mail direct. Or so long as you're over 59 1/2 believe they will send you the funds, and you can deliver to the other custodian of your choosing.

They will ask if you have a copy and have read the IRS Rules/Regs on withdrawal or rollover of Pre-Tax retirement funds. penalties for early withdrawals, etc., etc.  Unless you answer YES''' there will be a few days delay while they mail you those R&R's and put your withdrawal put on hold until you advise you have now read/understand  the regulations.
