Retirement Savings Lost and Found Database

As part of the SECURE 2.0 Act, the Department of Labor has recently established a “Retirement Savings Lost and  Found  Database.”  The  purpose  of  the  database  is  to  help  people  find  lost  or  forgotten  benefits  from  previous employers, as well as get information on how to obtain those funds.

You  can  use  the  database  if  you  worked  for  a  private  sector  employer  or  were  a  member  of  a  union  that  sponsored  a  retirement  plan.  The  database  does  not  include  benefits  for  government  entities  (such  as  city, state, or federal agencies) or religious organizations. Additionally, the database is not  for finding individual retirement accounts (IRAs).

To access the database, go to https://lostandfound.dol.gov. For security purposes, registration with Login.gov and ID-Proofed Authentication is required. Instructions for completing these steps are listed on the website.
