What to do when a Slavic401k account holder dies
Report the death to Slavic401k at 1-800-356-3009
What happens to Slavic401k retirement accounts after the account holder dies depends on how each account was titled. Beneficiary-designated and trust-owned accounts transfer directly. Accounts in the deceased's name alone go through the estate, and the executor or administrator works with Slavic401k to claim the funds.
The first step is contacting Slavic401k with the account holder's full name, account numbers, and the death certificate in hand.
