Massachusetts securities regulators have begun an investigation into MetLife's failure to pay thousands of workers' pensions.

In a filing made Dec. 15 Friday, MetLife disclosed that it failed to pay monthly pension benefits to workers within its retirement business unit. MetLife reported that it is in the process of trying to locate pensioners to whom it has failed to pay monthly pensions. MetLife states in its filing those pensioners "have moved jobs, relocated, or otherwise can no longer be reached."
