What is the 401k rollover and what does it do?

A 401k is money in an account that has been contributed by you and established by your employer. When you leave that job, you can move the money to a new account which is called a 401k rollover.


What happens to your 401K when you leave your employer?

You own your 401k so when you leave your employer you still own your 401k. You can either leave it where it is or you can move it to which ever company manages the 401k investments for your new employer. how do i git access to my 401k from this company so i can transfer or cash it in.


Is it adviseable to move my current 401K to an FDIC insured institution?

If you withdraw from your 401k it might come with a penalty. It might be wise to leave your money in and ride the wave back up when the market rebounds. So is there any way to not be penalized to withdraw from 401k with out a medical reason?


Can you hold private company stock in a 401K plan?

Probably not. Generally a 401k plan will dictate what investments are available to plan participants. The reason for this is the employer has some fiduciary responsibility to the plan participants. Some 401k plans have a brokerage window where you can move some of your contributions to the brokerage. Here you can invest in any investment offered by the brokerage. Note that the added fees for trading through the brokerage will be paid by your 401k account.


Am I entitled to money I put into 401k plans at previous jobs if I've never been fully vested and if so how do I go about getting that money?

The money that was taken from your pay and not taxed and contributed to a 401k plan is your money. Even though you were not vested in the plan, this is still your money. Vesting will make employer contributions to the 401k plan available to you. When you signed up for the 401k plan you were given a copy of the Summary Plan Description. In that document, it describes when and how you can get your money. This document also tells you what the tax consequences are for taking your money under various circustances. Read your Summary Plan Description. If you do not have The Summmary Plan Description, contact the 401k custodian/trustee and ask for a copy. This may be a good idea anyway because these plan descriptions change from time to time. Generally the best thing to do is to move this 401k money to a Traditional IRA using a Trustee to Trustee Transfer. The Trustee to Trustee Transfer to the IRA can be done by determining where you want your IRA. Contact that orginzation and tell them what you want to do. This new IRA custodian/trustee will help you through the process. After signing some papers, they will see that the transfer of your old 401k funds is done properly and deposited into your IRA. This IRA will be called a ROllover IRA. Doing this Trustee to Trustee Transfer is not a taxable event.
