401(k) Auto-Portability
119 posts
401(k) auto-portability automatically moves a worker’s small retirement balance to a new employer’s plan after a job change. The process prevents cash-outs, reduces forgotten accounts, and keeps retirement savings invested without requiring employee action. Plan sponsors and service providers coordinate transfers using standardized rules and participant safeguards. Auto-portability helps workers preserve long-term savings and improve retirement outcomes as they change jobs.
