How does the 401k work if i move from US to canada working for same company?

Asked by: Stacy Washington

How long can a company hold your 401k after you leave?

60 days

For amounts below $5000, the employer can hold the funds for up to 60 days, after which the funds will be automatically rolled over to a new retirement account or cashed out. If you have accumulated a large amount of savings above $5000, your employer can hold the 401(k) for as long as you want.
