Thanks. I heard through the grapevine that the company is being sold soon. I guess the owner wants his portion of the invested matching funds.

I did mine with Fidelity years ago. Make sure whichever company you go with you say ROLLOVER IRA.

They didn't have to make you wait a year. That was B.S. You have the option when you leave to leave it with them or take it into a rollover IRA.

I would be highly suspicious of whoever told you you couldn't take your money.

Call Vanguard. They will help you set up an IRA there, and will send you all the forms you need to roll over. They make it easy.

Vanguard or your current 401k if your company provides one.

Roll it over. It's so easy. You'll be glad once it's done.

Yes, they can do it if it is 5,000 or less or if they have terminated their 401(k) plan.

I resigned from a company in Maryland several years ago. When I left, I requested paperwork to rollover my 401k. They refused and said I had to wait until the next year. I did not pursue it further and left my money where it was. Recently they sent me paperwork stating that I had to rollover my money by a certain date or they would do it for me. Can they do that? Do I have any recourse if I prefer to leave my money where it is?
