Discovering old 401(k) accounts can be a valuable financial windfall. These accounts can contain sizable sums of money that you may have forgotten about or that were left behind when you changed jobs. Finding these accounts is relatively easy and can be done for free.

There are several reasons why you might have lost track of an old 401(k) account. You may have changed jobs multiple times over the years, and your old 401(k) accounts may have been rolled over into new ones. Or, you may have left a job without withdrawing your 401(k) balance, and the account was closed and the money sent to a state unclaimed property office.
