Yes you should, especially if they are using this money. the money is legally yours and therefore they are not allowed to use it as if it was theirs
Your employer should have their records electronically stored. The 401K is usually with a separate company anyhow. You will need to find out who sponsors your 401k and their contact information. Your employer will have access to this.
If your state requires 401K payments figured in with your wages or income received during your benefits period, then yes, otherwise I think not.
Yes. You can roll a previous employer's 401k balance into a new employer's 401k. You can also roll a previous employer's 401k balance into an individual retirement account (IRA) if you wish to maintain control over the investments.
Fidelity 401K may be available through your employer. You should inquire about them there.
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.
You should get periodic statements or you can check with your employer for contact info.

A 401k and a IRA are different. A 401k is a employer sponsored plan while a IRA is not.
Any employee, regardless of the type of work he or she performs, is eligible for a 401k if the employer offers it. An employer is not required to offer a 401k, however. If an employer-sponsored plan (401k, 403b, SEP IRA, etc.) is not available, often individuals will contribute to a Traditional IRA or Roth IRA.
You can rollover your 401k by applying for or opening a new 401k through your new employer. You don't have to do it though. Withdrawing from your 401k will result in penalties.
A 401k Plan generally is offered to employees by their employer. If you are self-employed, you may start a 401k or other retirement plan.
Many times, when you leave an employer, they may ask you to take your 401k plan with you, especially if the plan balance is low. In these cases, many people chose to rollover the 401k instead of cashing it out.
