I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law.  If you are entitled to collect a pension from your prior employer, you may seek to vindicate your rights as it is based on contract law.  If the employer is denying that you worked for the company then you need to obtain the documentation that proves your worked for the company and file a claim against the company in court.  Do you have pay stubs, prior tax returns, direct deposit records from payroll, health insurance benefit contracts, etc?  If so, you should provide the company with copies of these to demonstrate that you worked there and demand your pension payments.  If you have no luck and would like to discuss further, I am happy to provide you with a free intial consultation in person, or over the phone.  Jared 860-214-1137.
