FAQ

Check Your Plan Documents: Review your Summary Plan Description (SPD) or other documents. ERISA plans must provide an SPD that clearly states they are an ERISA plan. Look at Employer Contributions: If your employer contributes to the plan or matches your contributions, it's likely an ERISA plan.

Go to the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) website and try to locate the company's Form 5500 (the plan's required tax filing). The Form 5500 should have the plan administrator's contact information. Then you can contact the responsible party directly and ask about your retirement account.

How to Locate a 401(k) From a Previous Job Contact previous employers. It may seem obvious, but one of the quickest ways to track down an old 401(k) plan is to go directly to the source.

The formal plan name, plan number and plan year must also be included in the employee welfare benefit plan's Summary Plan Description (SPD). Each employee welfare benefit plan must have a primary name. If a plan has a secondary name that it is often referenced by, that information must also be included in the SPD.

The National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement Benefits is a good place to start. By entering your Social Security number, you can quickly see if there are any unclaimed 401(k) funds that belong to you.

Check out your old W-2 tax forms; the forms will list the employer you had a retirement plan with that year. Use the information on your old W-2 to contact your plan sponsor, or old employer, directly to get your account information.

One of the best ways to find lost retirement accounts is to contact your former employers. If you're unsure where to direct your call, try the Human Resources or Accounting departments. They should be able to check their plan records and confirm whether you've ever participated.
