MY WIFE WANTS TO QUIT HER JOB IN A PRIVATE INVESTMENT BROKERS FIRM, CAN SHE TAKE A PROFIT SHARING 401?

My mother wants to give up her pursuit in the in isolation investment brokers firm, can she take the distinction pity 401k which is contributed to by the association though is not deducted from her pay? She has the large comment after 10 years as well as needs to leave due to celebrity conflicts as well as the comparatively inhospitable environment. We’re perplexing to find out if she can keep her early retirement supports by possibly cashing out with the chastisement or rolling it to the brand new account. We’re fearful which the owners might be antagonistic with the situation.

Without knowing any of the details…she can take what she is 100% vested in although how long it will take and under what terms will depend upon the rules of the plan itself. You would discuss this with the plan administrator, not the company she is leaving.

She can probably take assets that she is not 100% vested in on percentage basis (20% vested = 20% of the dollar value). However, this also depends upon the rules of the plan.

What she needs to do is get a copy of the formal plan description with its rules and requirements from the HR Department or the plan administrator for the details.

If she takes them in cash, rather than in a direct rollover to an IRA (which is generally the correct option), she will owe state and federal taxes in all cases plus a 10% penalty in most cases.

Her employer can keep control of her 401k thru the end of the year. The employer must show do diligence in protecting her investments. He is liable for protecting her account. She will probably lose all monies that are not vested, but those that are vested are hers. I lost my job a couple of years ago in June. My employer gambled my 401k away on sloppy investing, lost 55% of my account in the next six months. (I was one of 6 people that were released). We took my ex employer to court and we got our losses back. It was settled out of court. The law is on your side. Your money will be distributed to you in Jan. 2010. You can issue a letter requesting immediate rollover of you 401k to your bank, but legally, the employer can sit on it till Jan1, 2010.
