Looking For That Lost Retirement Account? Why It’s Easier To Find An IRA Than A 401(k)
“If you’re looking for an old IRA, searching for it through the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA) is likely to help you track down that account. But a 401(k)? If you don’t know the financial institution that held it, your chances of finding it are much slimmer.”
