I recently quit my job (10/2020) and have a 401k with a 3% non elective safe harbor. Usually, my employer would make the entire 3% contribution mid February the following year (a 1% match contribution was made on a monthly basis). My question is: If I were to make a cash withdrawal of all my vested funds prior to receiving the 3% SHNEC, what happens? Does my former employer open a new/ reopen my old 401k account to deposit the funds? Do I receive a check? Do I get nothing? I don’t think I’m going to have to do this, but I am curious. Below is some additional information. Thanks for the help!
-I am not a HCE
-I am only expecting about $2000 from the safe harbor
-I am only 30 years old
-I worked 1,500+ hours this year before resigning
