Many firms offer their employees various types of retirement benefits. These plans go by many names, including a 401(k), pension plan or profit sharing plan, to name a few.
The person who takes care of the plan is often referred to as the Plan Administrator. One of the jobs of the Plan Administrator is to contact former employees and ask what they would like to do with the funds that have accumulated in their plans.
Sometimes, the Plan Administrator cannot locate the former employee, or the former employee fails to respond to the notice. When this happens, the Plan Administrator must look to the plan document to determine what to do with the accumulated assets. Some of the options could include keeping the money in the plan, mailing a check to the former participant, or rolling the funds into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
If your employer rolled your qualified plan funds into an IRA with KeyBank, then we would have sent you paperwork that needed to be completed and returned. This is a sample of the documents that we would have personalized and mailed to the address that your former employer provided to us. This sample does not include plan, account, and privacy disclosures that were also included.
You have three choices of what you can do with your retirement money:
