Hello,

I need some advise and assistance if possible with respective to my old 401K account. I left my company in 2001 and now the company has been closed and I have lost my latest401K statement which I had received and do not any longer receive any statements.

I need to track the financial institution where the 401K was being deposited. All I have are the companies payslips.

Please help.

Thanks & Regards
Raymond

Try checking with the SSA. They are supposed to be informed on any retirement accounts.

After searching the web, this is what I found:

1. Contact former employees you worked with and see if they still have any information.

2. Most plans are required to file an annual "Form 5500" with the U.S. Government. You can search these 5500's for the name of your former employer. Try Annual Return/Report 5500 Series Forms and Instructions (http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/5500main.html) or Welcome to freeErisa.com! (http://www.freeERISA.com). If you can find a Form 5500 on an old plan, it will have contact information.
