Shopko 401k – Options You Must Know

By 401k, IRA Rollover, Shopko
If you were a Shopko employee that has been affected by the announcement of closure of operations in early 2019, then you have some decisions on what to do with your old 401(k).

Normally, when you leave a job you have the option to (1) leave your 401(k) account where it is, (2) roll it into a new company 401(k), (3) roll it into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), or (4) cash it out (which for most is a terrible option). An IRA is an account that you own personally and is tax-deferred (meaning you don’t pay tax until you withdraw the money, typically after you retire).
