Best Answer

Depends on your plan but you can opt out of your 401K at any time but you will pay taxes on the balance then pay a 10% penalty on the pre-tax amount. For example, if your balance is $10K, you will pay $1K penalty, then pay taxes on $10K which might be as high as $3000. So you end up with $6000 and probably won't be able to participate in the 401K plan for another year.

What happens to your husbands 401K if company no longer is in business?

You have to rollover the 401k to an IRA (individual retirement account). You can typically do this with the bank providing the 401k. If not, you can have the bank transfer funds directly to the new bank where you setup the IRA.The final option is having the 401k bank send you a check in the mail, and you have 60 days to transfer this money into an IRA without penalties. They will withhold taxes from this check, but you can get 100% of the taxes back when filing your annual tax return.

Can a bank hold a 401k check?

The fact that it is a 401k check is irrelevant in determining a hold. It depends on your account history, the bank the check is drawn upon (same bank as yours or another bank; local bank or non-local bank), and whether the bank feels it would have other reasons to hold the check as permitted by government regulations.

Can you roll over your 401k plan with your current employer to an IRA and discontinue participation in the 401k?

No, you cannot. You cannot transfer a 401k balance from your current employer to any other plan. Obviously, you can discontinue participation in the 401k and make contributions to a new or existing IRA in your name. But you cannot transfer the balance elsewhere. Unless however you are over the age of 59 1/2, in wich you would have access to the balance in your 401k plan, and would be eligible to roll it over.
