Rollovers

Leaving a job or retiring is a big change in your life. While you’re anticipating all the adjustments and challenges ahead, however, don’t neglect your retirement plan assets.

When you leave a job, a rollover IRA gives your money the potential to keep growing.

Of course, a rollover IRA is not the only option you have. Carefully compare all your options to make the best choice for you. Keep in mind any tax implications. If you’re not careful, taxes and penalties can eat away much of what you’ve saved.

1. Move your assets into a rollover IRA to keep the same tax benefits, avoid penalties and gain more control of your money.

Other options

2Stay in your old Plan

Not ready to make a decision about your retirement plan money? Staying in the plan while you consider your options keeps your investment tax-deferred.

3Move your money to a new plan

Moving your account balance to your new employer’s plan lets you keep your retirement plan money with one provider.

4Cash out

While cashing out may be appropriate in certain situations, doing so may come at a significant cost due to taxes and potential penalties.
