A newer federal tool has been getting attention lately for helping people track down old or “forgotten” 401(k) accounts.

It’s called the Department of Labor’s “Retirement Savings Lost and Found” database, and it’s designed to help individuals reconnect with retirement accounts that may have been left behind after job changes or employer transitions.

This is more common than many people realize.

Over the course of a career, most individuals will change jobs multiple times. Between plan administrators changing, company mergers, and lost login information, it’s easy for retirement accounts to become scattered or overlooked over time.

That’s why we often emphasize the importance of periodically reviewing retirement assets — making sure everything is accounted for and aligned with long-term financial goals.

If you’ve had several job changes over the years, it may be worth taking a few minutes to search.

You can access the tool here:
