I decided to stop by the post office today to check my mail there - still have my box from when I first moved here. (need to get it canceled, just keep forgetting)
Part of the reason was it had been a few weeks since I'd been there, and part of it was I hadn't had a good day and wanted chocolate. Which I got .. before the mail.
So anyway ... I got my mail. Saw two envelopes from a place I didn't recognize and an envelope from my former 2005 employer's retirement company. Opened that up in my car ... Balance $0!!
Ensue panic attack!
Ensue rushing home.
Try to calm myself and call retirement company. Find out that my 2005 employer changed companies as of January.
They don't have the number for the new company, but they did know the name.
Google name of new company. Call customer service number. Find out my money is there.
Get very aggravated registering for an online account so I can SEE my money. Finally manage to get in and see it is still there.
I received absolutely NO communication about this impending move. My money will be moving again soon - to Vanguard, but now I just have to figure out how to move it from this new company.
I DID not like finding out about this like that. At all.

I got in touch with someone who should know about talking with the pastor / not being a member. Haven't heard back one way or the other yet, but I'll see her on Saturday. Am feeling really frustrated with life right now.

You are no longer with your former employer and no longer reaping any benefits. You have already been put out by not being informed of a major change.

I'm sure you can do a roll over to Vanguard.
