While society has made strides in curbing physical waste, a similar problem persists in the U.S. retirement system: the inefficient handling of 401(k) accounts when employees change jobs.

On one hand, regulators increasingly view the existence of uncashed checks as a sign of fiduciary weakness – a [red flag](https://rch1.com/blog/a-more-enlightened-approach-to-uncashed-distribution-checks) indicating that participants may not be receiving the benefits they are owed. On the other hand, plan sponsors must operate within a complex regulatory environment that provides limited direct guidance on how to handle these situations when they occur. In this environment, it is vitally important that each retirement plan maintain a formal, documented and defensible uncashed distribution check policy – one that outlines the plan’s procedures, establishes consistent practices and mitigates fiduciary risk.

When job-changing workers cash out or abandon these accounts in [dead-end safe harbor IRAs](https://rch1.com/blog/rch-consolidation-corner-channel-ep-15--shining-light-on-safe-harbor-iras), they lose not just immediate savings, but can forego decades of compounded growth – reducing their odds of a comfortable or timely retirement.
