Question

Asked 1/6/2009

I was laid off. Should keep the money in a 401K account or do a "Direct Rollover" into IRA?

My vested value is well over $5000. I can no longer contribute money into my 401K account and I don't know whether to keep it as is, directly roll it over to another IRA I have
"Fidelity" or roll it over to the same company's "TransAmerica" IRA. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!

It depends on your age, when you will retire, etc. Speak to a representative at Fidelity. They always gave me good advice regarding my 401k

Thanks, I will call Fidelity. The representative at TransAmerica said he could not give me advice.

Fidelity has many more options for you. They will have a lower fee schedule too. You have a relatively small balance, so it would make sense to combine it into an IRA you already have. Its fairly easy to forget you have something over a few decades.
