Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
401(k) Direct Rollover
The disbursement amount on the
check is incorrect. My Financial
Advisor stated there was a gain not a
loss. I have tried with no success to
have my former employer and the
holder of the 401(K) to correct the
matter and they refuse. My Financial
Advisor advised me to contact Dept.
of Labor, this effort began on
12-28-06. I have called and faxed on
numerous occassions, all to no avail.
I cannot sign the Direct Rollover
Check because that would show
acceptance. I need to know if there
is another Government Agency that
I can contact? If there is no other
Govt. Agency, how should I proceed?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: 401(k) Direct Rollover
Assuming that your 401K is covered under the federal ERISA (Employment Retirement Income Security Act) statutes, your remedy may be to initiate an action for an accounting or similar action in the appropriate U.S. District Court if DOL is unable to
remedy the situation. (The DOL, of course, is a large bureaucracy and such elephantine amalgams of government usually require considerable lengths of time to start moving.)
