QUESTION: I worked for a company with a profit-sharing plan. I haven't been able to get any information about where my money is. Can you help me?
ANSWER: The Employee Benefits Security Administration, which has jurisdiction over private-sector companies' profit-sharing, 401(k), money-purchase and employee-stock ownership plans, is the place to start. The toll-free number to reach a benefit adviser there is 866-444-3272. You should be prepared to provide the name and location of the company sponsoring the profit-sharing and information from your latest account statement, an EBSA spokeswoman said.
