<prompt> Human: My wife was essentially told by her former company once she went on maternity leave there may not be a position open for you whenever she decided to come back. So she took it as a very good sign to find another job in the field and sure enough she did, making almost 20 more in pay plus bonuses for essentially less work overall. Great deal, as it pulled her out of her depression that she has done something wrong at the previous job. Only issue is now she got a check from the 401k from the previous job and it is noticeably less than her previous quarterly statement before she went on leave. There is almost exactly 2000 less than what was reported there, in the direct form of a company check no less, which I feel is very suspect as when I rolled over my old company 401k while there were a couple hundred in fees never THAT much. Plus, I was able to have them roll it directly into a rollover IRA , not issue me a check. Note also that she never asked for them to issue her a check in the first place either, the old company just did it, NOT the brokerage firm actually handling the accounts, which I find very suspect. How can I go about making this right? Who should I talk to, as I do not want to have to deal with her former bosses again. As a last resort, how do I report this, and to whom? I suspect they have done a lot of shady things similar to this, this is just the most blatant form of financial fuckery I have seen them do.  <response>: Was she receiving a company match, and if so, was there a vesting period that she didnt meet?
