<prompt> Human: I have a 401k question. So, I am leaving my company as of July 1. I am located in PA. My question is, I was supposed to receive a match per a letter we got via e-mail back in 2015. If we contributed 437; or more they matched 10037; up to 437;. At that point I increased my contribution. It JUST came out that our company NEVER matched our 401Ks. Is this Legal? And they were called out and said they would make up for it and now this payroll they decided to match. If they decide to make up the amounts they DID NOT match over the past few years after I leave...will I receive those funds? Or no? And can I take any action for my missed money? I would say its around 10,000 i never received!!!  <response>: If the match was non-discretionary and they dont fix it, the Department of Labor would be interested in hearing about it. They consider stuff like this to be the same as unpaid wages. The company likely should be compensating you for lost growth and be contributing more than the total of the missed matches.If it was discretionary, ... No clue.Not a lawyer, not a corporate finance person, etc.
