Where is your 401k from a company that went out of business?

If your 401(k) provider goes out of business, your account typically gets transferred to a new custodian, often through a process managed by the federal government or a financial institution. You should receive information about the status of your account and options for rollover or withdrawal. It's important to contact the plan administrator or custodian for guidance on accessing your funds and understanding your rights. Additionally, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) may offer protections if your plan was underfunded.
