re: Company forgot to offer me 401k when I qualified now they're giving me $ explain

I recently switched jobs and when I left my old company i had X in my 401k. I did not roll it over yet. When I got my statement last month, it had 3k more in it than when I left in a matter of 3-4 months. I know the market hasn't done that well

I'm thinking maybe they owed me vacation time or something and just dumped it in my 401k.. Maybe same for you?
