Depends on the agreement you have with the company, or what they said they would give you. You keep everything that's vested. That would be all your contributions, and any contributions from the company that are vested. Many companies will have a sliding scale, vesting maybe 20% a year of their contributions.

I have been laid off from my job after 34 years of service. I need to roll over my 401K to the Federal Credit Union. When I roll it over, I need to withdraw monies to eliminate credit card debt. I am 62 years old, and I need your advice a.s.a.p.

My company has no vestment slide rule. I was just needing to know how to retrieve about 15K without a huge penalty.
