Same. When I was a post-doc at Wake Forest Baptist Medical for 2 years, they were very clear distinctions between research fellows and employees. Totally different benefits. I had no idea I even had a 403(b) benefit until about 3 years later, I was in another state and had moved twice, got a letter from TIAA saying, "We have updated your contact info, please confirm if correct." I have no idea how they found me, but I'm glad they did.

Now I look back and say, how the hell did I not keep up with this. the answer is... young and not paying attention.

That's actually good to know. I assumed it was for dumbass millenials who job hopped and didn't have their shiz together. But never considered 401k's in the pre-internet days where there was no portal to log in to or way to track it. Thanks for the added perspective.

I think its also some of people switch jobs, mean to roll over the 401k, keep planning to do it 3 years later they still haven't done it and can't remember what company it was with.
 
I had a small 401k with an employer I was only with for like a year. Before I could roll it over they changed benefit providers, then the company got sold, and I chased that $800 for probably 4 years before finally just saying fawk it.
I dotn know where it is out there currently

If only there were some heavily advertised one-word dog named company that could help with that.

I was planning to just use the ol pipe wrench but there wasn't enough material to grab. If I had thought about it this week, I'd have primed it too 😂
