What happens to my 401k if I’m not vested?

Can an employer take back their 401k match?

Even if you quit, resign, or leave the company for another employer, the company cannot take back its contribution. However, becoming 100% vested does not mean you can withdraw the funds at any time.

How do I convert my 401k to a Solo 401k?

You will have 60 days from the distribution to do this without any penalties.
