Helping You Understand Your 401(k) Options

When you leave a job, you have several options for your 401(k) account. Here's a breakdown of the most common choices:

  • Leave It with Your Former Employer

    This option may be ideal if your employer's plan offers low fees and a wide range of investment choices that align with your goals. However, you may have limited control over your investments, and you might be subject to the plan's restrictions.

  • Roll It Over to an IRA

    Rolling over your 401(k) to an IRA allows you to have greater control over your investments and potentially access a broader range of investment options. This option can also offer lower fees in some cases.

  • Cash Out Your 401(k)

    Cashing out your 401(k) isn’t generally recommended, as you'll likely face taxes and penalties. It can also deplete your retirement savings and make it harder to achieve your financial goals.

  • Roll It Over to Your New Employer’s Plan

    Roll over the assets to his/her new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted.
