We can't tell you that, it is confidential. Where do you work? Ask their HR dept. Do you get statements?

We could not tell you on a public forum that is read and viewed by 1000's of people all over the world and is searchable by many search engines.

Next no one but you will know that, Did you ever have one ? Did you take your money out or leave it in. Unless you have moved without forwarding address you should be getting a quarterly and yearly statement from them.

But you need to contact the admin of the 401K company or if that is not known contact the HR of where you used to work for that info.

We cannot tell, but not so much because this is a public forum or its confidential, but because we DO NOT know.

First, to have a 401(k) you have to have worked for a company that offered one as a benefit and been eligible to participate in it. Since we don't know where you worked we can't know if you have one.

Second, even if we did know where you worked we could only tell you if they offered one and then only if that is a matter of public record.

Third, most 401(k) plans require the employee to contribute to gain any company contribution. So did you contribute to one? Did you ever get statements?

The best way to find out if you have one is to contact your former employers.
