Some suggestions:

1. Contact the former employer and ask.
2. Look through your financial records to make sure your address is current with all administrators of 401(k) and IRA plans for all previous employers.
3. Every state has a program to try to reunite "lost assets" with their rightful owners. Do a Google search on "unclaimed property" together with the name of your state, and it should talk eyou to your state's website. There you can so a search to see if any financial institutions have reported you as "lost."
