It is the portion of the Company match funds in your account you are entitled to keep should your employment terminate. Your vested portion will increase each year of your employment until you reach 100%, usually 5 years.

What is the process for 401k vesting after termination of employment?

After termination of employment, the process for 401k vesting typically involves determining how much of the employer-contributed funds the employee is entitled to keep based on the vesting schedule. If the employee is fully vested, they can keep the entire amount. If not fully vested, they may only keep a portion of the employer-contributed funds based on the vesting schedule.

What happens to your 401-K Plan or retirement plan if your company goes into Receivership?

I believe, in general, you can no longer make contributions, but you can roll over the money into an IRA or to your next employer's 401k. Unless there are some vesting provisions tied to your length of employment, the money you've contributed is yours.

What does vested mean?

Are you asking in terms of 'vesting'? Such as in stock options or 401K? If so, it just means you earn the right to what ever it is. So, if the company contributes to your 401K but you're not vested, the money isn't yours. If you are 20% vested, then 20% of what they contributed is now your money.


Can you lose your company match 401k if you quit your job?

It is possible that you could. 401k's have what's called a vesting schedule. All that means is you have to wait a certain amount of time to actually own the employer's contribution. Some matches are yours from day one. Most plans aren't like that though, so I would read through the info on your own 401k plan to see when the money will actually be yours to keep.
