Last year I cashed in my 401k from the company I used to work for. I'm on SSI, so I couldn't roll it over, and the home office began charging me a fee for them to retain it, so, I cashed it out. I recieved the check, paid off a lot of bills that I had accumulated when I got sick. That was last year. But since then I kept getting notices from Fidelity Investments telling me as an Investor I needed to vote on certain options. I thought this was an oversight, and disregarded them.
Last week I got another one, and decided to go to their website. After recovering my username and keycode (I hadn't used the site since 1998), I logged in. There sitting in my account was over $6000. What? Yeah! I don't know either. I'm thinking the 401k was the payout from the Home Office, and this is the matching Investments.
So, I requested a payout. After taxes I get $5000. The check is due to arrive on Day 2 of the Convention!
Hence my exasperated Aaaargh!
