U.S. Bank 2010 Cash Balance Plan Rollover

I was let go by USB and now finally am settled in my new job. What is the easiest way to rollover your money from the U.S. Bank 2010 Cash Balance Plan? I have already rolled over my 401k from Fidelity but the funds from the U.S. Bank 2010 Cash Balance Plan seem more difficult to rollover.


Thank you, Wells Fargo

I was laid off waited for the severance PTO bonus all that jazz and I couldn’t be happier. I am officially retired. I can now enjoy my life without all the Wells Fargo drama between Social Security 401(k) and other investments. I’m making more than I did at Wells Fargo I’ve been in many engineering jobs And Wells Fargo is nothing but a joke. I am really glad to be gone.


2c

if you are at least 59 1/2 years old you can do an in service (meaning you are still employed) withdrawal from our 401k into a rollover IRA without any immediate tax impact. If you are younger I believe you are stuck until your employment with the company providing the 401k ends.

There can be downsides to moving money out of your 401k to an IRA, mainly getting in the way of future Roth conversions (affects all ages). This is also a consideration in you are in the pension and are considering a lump sum payment, to be rolled into an IRA. If this is like reading Latin to you please run it by a tax or financial advisor beforehand.

Insult to Injury with 401k with Elevance Health

So, after getting the RIF, if you've been there less than 2 years, you will not be fully vested in the 401K program; if you've been there less than 3 years, you won't see the additional 4% so all that money you thought you were getting according to your Fidelity account is a complete joke.

Your account will show a "forfeiture" for the matched amount. I think some of this RIF mess is to avoid having to match folks' retirement contributions they tout so highly as a "benefit."


When Did You Retire

Per the title, if you have or are in the process of retiring from Fidelity and meet the rule of 70, what date did you pick and why? I know to receive your profit sharing and RHR contributions, you need to be an employee as of 12/31. If you have shares and/or bonus eligible, it would likely be pro-rated for every other full quarter. So many retire in the spring and I don’t know if I’m missing something or did you just want warmer weather? 😊 TIA


Cost of the switch to annual 401k match

AI chatbot told me, when I put in my particulars, that the gains foregone from the switch to annual match from quarterly we used to have is about $1,500, since missing out on getting money in during the lower levels throughout the this year, assuming S&P closes out the year at current level. Thanks Charlie, and the "special award" ain't gonna make up for it, even if we're around for it to vest. Especially given the big lump that would have matched Q1 on the bonus period contribution. And most companies match per pay period, so annual is a real stiffing.


Pay and Benefits - Savings and Retirement site weird alert..

Anyone else log into their savings and retirement summary page lately?

I see an alert/info icon that says “Need to initiate a 401(k) rollover to another company? If you are looking to withdraw your savings, you may want to consider rolling it directly into another eligible employer plan or an individual retirement account (IRA). You can learn more here or request a rollover if you are ready.”

Certainly making me more nervous. Is this a sign? Anyone else see this when you log into your benefits?


Healthcare costs going up

Just saw email taking about the changes upcoming during enrollment period. Atleos mentions about the “staggering increases in healthcare” requiring an increase of rates.

That’s now a double whammy as they took away the benefit of being healthy (non smoking, sugar levels, etc) providing a discount on healthcare per pay period. Smokers actually benefited the most cause their rates came down!

Add that to worsening 401k company match, things keep going in reverse.


Bankruptcy Likely

Most deep dive analyst are now predicting bankruptcy as soon as 2026. Even with stock going so low nobody will buy the company.
Get what you can out of the pension fund now.
The cuts were just a show, most were at or near retirement age.
With no raises and flex PTO and no 401K match in 2026 is a sure sign of bankruptcy planning.


401K Catchup contributions going away in 2026

I guess I was a sleep at the wheel and misssed this announcement. Did anyone hear from Oxy about the new rules for the catchup portion of our 401K. It looks like you might still be able to add to a Roth, but I used the pre-tax catachup for years now since I am older and could use it. I guess the govt needs more upfront tax dollars. This is an extra 2K a year I will be paying in taxes. Glad I am retiring in 2026.

Roth 401k

In 2026, will HCSC offer a Roth 401k as the result of the Secure 2.0 Act, which requires catch up contributions for high earners be made only to a Roth 401k. Here we are in Q4 and I haven't heard anything yet. I believe if no Roth 401k option is available, then the high earner employee is not allowed to make catch up contributions. Curioyif anyone has heard anything on this from HCSC?


Coming up to 2 years of Project Reinvention

October 2023 : “ By 2026, Xerox projects a rise in operating income by at least $300 million (€285 million), reverting to double-digit adjusted operating income margins”.

October 2025 and the stock price if a quarter of what it was at the announcement time above, already having dropped by half over the prior 5 year average.

SteveB will say it is on track, he will say the Lexmark acquisition is key to the future growth, but this was not in his plan two years ago.

Does the. Lard really believe the continuing change of rhetoric from the CEO. The SLT all nod with appeasement, no one dare disagree, but all happy to take their pound of flesh and stock options ( although each time a worth less and less ).

No merit increase, frozen 401k.

What belies the future - will we get anything from the upcoming Q3 release ?


Anyone noticed the stock price is now stagnant in the last 7 months?

“But look at the stock price” was used as something of a justification for decisions like RTO and veneration of Stankey. Looked today though and the stock is effectively flat since early March and down vs. 6 months ago. S&P 500 is way up in that time period. Thank goodness I move my 401k match out of T and into investments that actually do something (for now)


Policy question on resignation

What happens if I resign during the first week of Dec (just to be eligible for 401k match), then the year end performance review happens and my manager had already decided to give me 5 rating?

  1. Will I be able to serve the 30 day notice period, get the match and leave in Jan first week
    or
  2. Will HR say all 5 will be let go before 12/31 including those already resigned?
