Subject: Old employer attempting to claw back 401k match after I quit

I changed jobs a few months ago and rolled over my 401k into a roth IRA. I noticed that about $8,000 was included in the sum that I wasn't expecting, as it represented an unvested 401k match. I figured they changed the vesting policy or something and didn't alert anyone to it obviously.

Today I got an email saying the retirement plan management company noticed the error and are demanding I write them a check for the 8k. They even cheekily included pds of descriptions of courts favoring corporations/retirement plans and forcing employees to return the erroneous retirement distributions. They even came after someone's house after she used the retirement distribution to purchase it.

Do I have any options here? It's obviously pretty annoying I have to write a check for 8k just because some accountant fucked up.

My understanding is that you're generally not allowed to keep misdirected funds from bank errors or whatever. Not sure what you could rely on to say you're allowed to keep the money.

Sorry i'm a stem dood and i don't know what this means. could you elaborate at all?

On one hand the money doesn't technically belong to me but i also don't see why some idiot making a $8,000 accounting mistake shouldn't cost his company $8,000.

Would they take me to court over it? There's probably some threshold below which they wouldn't, e.g. if i owed $500 or something.

I feel like I already fucked up because I forwarded the email to a friend so I don't know if that email exchange could be subpoena'd or something?

Is it possible I'd have to pay their legal fees if I lost in court?

$8k might or might not be below a threshold where they wouldnt take you to court. how big is this company? even if they do take you to court, make them spend the money.

anything's possible but fee-shifting is pretty rare in most cases like this.

that's the long and short of it. send it back. or tell the companies to work directly. you shouldn't have to do it from your own funds. this is a manager to manager action.

Exactly. If you're giving it back, don't write them a check. They need to get it out of your IRA, and that's their fucking problem, not yours. You don't work for them.

LJL at them actually litigating over 8k. That's a rounding era. No one sane is retaining counsel to go after you for $8k. I would only write them a check the day after a complaint is served.

Agreed, assuming there is no fine print in your retirement plan that allows them to get the money short of suing you. If they sue then you can capitulate or negotiate, claim hardship and offer 5k.

Definitely not yours to keep, but you probably can anyway. Large qualified plans essentially never litigate to recover mistakenly paid funds. There's no telling what a rando little co Will do. There's basically no support for a reliance argument in this case.
