If the company is still in existence you should be able to call them and request a transfer to a new account (you will need to set a new account up).  Or you get a full distribution, but I don't recommend that, the Federal Withholding Taxes will eat up your money!  Also, if you have a statement from the bank or company that manages the Pension Plan, you may be able to skip contacting your previous employer and just send a transfer request to them.  When you open a new IRA (at the place of your choice, their are many on line places) they should have a form that can be sent to have your old Pension rolled over.  Let me know if you have any additional questions.

It really depends on your company's policy.  I asked a similar question to HR after my company was taken over.  She said the old company wouldn't do anything, but the new one might pursue.  The company might take your last paycheck to offset the dollar amount they have "lost."

If that is a US company, try the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. They insure most US pension plans (but it is up to the employer to decide to buy the insurance or not). If it is an insured plan, the PBGC will know how to get in touch with them.

You should be able to contact the Human Resources office of your old employer, assumint they are still in business.  Considering that it was your plan, you are entitled to the information within.

To roll it over into your name makes it a taxable event unless you are the spouse.  Once the taxable event has happened and you claim this on your income taxes, the money becomes "Non Qualified" money, and you do not have to continue taking the distributions.  Really bad advice from this bank.  They want you to roll it over with them so they can make the commission again!  I'd contact a reputable insurance company, and have them roll it over into an annuity, and let this money sit and grow tax deferred for years.  This could be quite a nest egg when you get ready to retire.  Don't do the annuity with the bank, or broker the interest tends to be lower because you have a middle man.  Let me know if I can put you in touch with someone that can make this simple and right.

First off check any of your old pay stubs. They may list any money you put into a 401k account.\n\nSecond, contact your HR department and find out if there is any money you are due based on the organization's retirement policies.

It's very company dependent.  Mine allows you to start on day one.  But, it takes 5 years of service for you to be fully vested.  Ours used to be 6 month waiting period.

You need to ask the trustee for your trust account.  You can't access the funds, but more than likely the trustee may have some ability to pay for certain things on your behalf, but it would be completely up to them to make that decision.

If he died in 2005 they are right. If he died in 2006 you don't have to do anything until 2007. The new pension bill says that if you are entitled to a distribution and you get it in 2007 you can have it rolled into an IRA and take distributions over the remainder of you life expectancy. A good CPA in your area should be able to help you get this done.

Your company's 401k plan is a separate entity, apart from the company itself. Whether the new company will continue the plan is a question you need to ask your HR dept (or the new company's HR dept.). There is no requirement that they continue the old plan.\n\nYou should also check the plan's SPD - Summary Plan Description to see what it says.\n\nIn any case, the money would not revert back to the company.

Unfortunately, if it wasn't written in the divorce decree, I don't think you'll be able to get anything from it. Remember, he is your ex, which means you have no ties to his pension. I know about this because of my divorce. Everything, including my pension, that was of value was put into my divorce documents. It also stated that from this point forward, everything was separate. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

As I understand, it is shifting asset allocations.\nMostly seems to be fee based turnover of funds from here to there!

If they're unvested, they are lost.  The requirements for vesting must be met or they expire.

Contact the employer or the company that administers the plan or the union.\n\nNote that there are 2 types of pensions:\n\nDefined benefit plans guarantee a certain monthly income at retirement based on things like years of service, income while working, etc.  The value of these accounts would be something like if you stop working now and start getting checks at age 65 your monthly payment will be $2,000.\n\nDefined contribution plans are a promise by the employer to put a certain amount into the account.  The monthly checks at retirement depend on how much the account is worth when the payout starts.  These accounts have a cash value so the value would be an actual dollar amount.

you should check with an attorney as to your rights in this case- if the advise was given verbally as opposed to in writing- it might be more difficult-yet, only an attorney would be sure about that..CFP's- Certified Financial Planners can give financial advice-they have passed rigid exams in ten different areas to get certified-CPA's can also give advise-some have an additional certification in financial planning--CLU's- Chartered Life Underwriters know about pensions and insurance and annuities- they have passed ten tough exams also to get their designation---unfortunately EVERYONE THINKS THEY CAN ADVISE OTHERS- YET FEW ARE QUALIFIED TO DO SO, BY EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND EXAMS & CERTIFICATIONS--unfortunately that lack of qualifications does not stop people from rendering opinions and advise--sorry you have this problem- i believe an attorney could spell out any recourse you might have better than anyone else !!! I am a retired Independent Insurance Broker, & CFP & CPA & LUTCF ..good luck to you- if i can be of further help-holler back at me !!

One place to look is at the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporations missing participant list.  The PBGC is a U.S. Government agency that protects pensions.  They have a search page for unclaimed pesions. Look on their web site: http://www.pbgc.gov
