I doubt that it is a requirement of law that they must (although that may depend on your state law) - however - it may be a requirement of your employer - it may be a requirement of the bank or actuarial company that administers the pension plan - it may (possibly) be a requirement of your states law. If the answer is impiortant to you, you should consult with someone IN YOUR STATE who is knowledgeable about such things.
