Two quick suggestions: 1. If your husband had a 401(k) account the plan administrator should be sending out quarterly statements to his home address of record. So check the mail to see if these statements are coming. If you find these statements, they should have information on how to contact the plan administrator (which is typically a bank, life insurance company, or investment company like Vanguard or Fidelity). 2. Call the HR depatrment at his former employers and ask - they will know and should be able to tell you how to proceed. While you're at it, also ask whether he had a life insurance policy through work (many employers provide free life insurance for active employees, often equal to a year's pay or more), or if there are any other benefits due to you. |

vernarb: It's hard to help you if you can't be specific about exactly what you would like to know. Has the company HR department explained to you why they won't tell you about his 401(k)? Usually you have to deal with a separate company that actually manages the 401(k) plan - not your husband's employer but an investment company such as Vanguard or Fidelity that acts as plan administartor. Do you know who the administrator is? It should be clear from the quarterly 401(k) statements that he received.
