How can I find my 401k. My company was bought out in a leveraged buy out, and now I don't know who to contact.

Answer 1

What about talking to your human resources department?

Or you can contact a financial planner if you are wanting to roll it over into another fund. It is attached to your social, so they shouldn't have any problem finding it.


Good Luck!

Answer 2

First of all, find the most recent monthly statement from your 401k plan administrator, from the company previous to it being bought out. If you can find that statement, call the customer service number which is generally listed on the back of that statement, the front top of the statement, or the front bottom of the statement.

If you can't find a monthly statement, then find any communication (announcement, letter, termination notice, retirement letter etc.) that you have from your previous company and call any phone number you find on that communication. Ask them the question that you are asking here.

Good luck.

Answer 3

The name of your company may have changed but the name of the original trust is the same as is the trusts Employer Identification Number. So you can go to Freeerisa.com and use the find EIN number. I believe you can also search for the form 5500 (informational tax return) for the plan which would have the address of the plan sponsor which is who you would contact to get a distribution.
