When leaving a job, individuals must make a decision regarding their 401(k) accounts. Many choose to leave their funds with their former employer, leading to forgotten accounts. Currently, one in five Americans has a dormant 401(k), contributing to over a trillion dollars in unclaimed assets. Leaving funds in a previous 401(k) may be easy, but managing several accounts can complicate financial planning and may include high fees. Alternatives include rolling over to a new employer's plan or an IRA, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
Around one in five Americans has a dormant or forgotten 401(k) plan that they left behind when they left their job.
You could end up with a string of old 401(k) accounts from each of your past jobs - some of which may be forgotten.
