<prompt> Human: My company matches up to 4 of your pay that you contribute to your 401k, however they do not actually deposit the money in your 401k until January of the next year. Company policy says youre 100 vested in your 401k immediately. My question is: if I left for a different job, would they still contribute the match for a partial year in January?  <response>: Based on the policy you described, probably not. IBM made the change to this type of policy last year and it made big news.
