Generally information about your 401(k() is provided by your employer upon departure, and it is often advised that you roll-over your 401(k) to your new employer's plan or to an IRA.

If you need to find out where your 401(k) is, the easiest way to find it is to contact your former employer's HR representative or benefits coordinator.
