To check up on your pension, or to check a pension from a former employer, go to http://www.pbgc.gov/.

If you are worried about the health of the pension plan of your employer and you are allowed to do so, consider taking a lump sum payment when you retire and invest the money safely yourself.  Some pension plans allow for this. Many do not.
