Discover Hidden Retirement Funds: A Guide for Lennar Employees

Healthcare Provider Update: Lennar Corporation, primarily known as a home construction company, does not directly offer healthcare services. However, they often engage with major healthcare providers and insurers for employee health plans. One notable healthcare provider associated with Lennar is UnitedHealthcare, which offers health insurance products that can include coverage for Lennar's employees. As healthcare costs are poised to rise rapidly in 2026, various factors are contributing to this trend. The impending expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is projected to severely impact many enrollees, resulting in potential premium increases of over 75% for those who rely on these subsidies. This scenario is exacerbated by climbing medical costs, driven by inflation in hospital and drug expenses. As a result, consumers and employers alike are bracing for significant financial strain in the healthcare landscape as they prepare for this challenging year ahead. Click here to learn more

In this article, we will discuss:

1. The federal resources available to help locate lost or unclaimed retirement savings.

2. Key tools like the Retirement Savings Lost and Found Database and other platforms to recover forgotten financial assets.

3. How retirees can track down unclaimed bank accounts, savings bonds, and pension plans to make the most of their retirement savings.

The Retirement Savings Lost and Found Database is a federal initiative aimed at helping individuals locate their lost pension and 401k funds. Launched by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), this tool is one of many available resources designed to assist Lennar employees and others in recovering unclaimed financial assets.

Earlier this year, the public was granted access to  the DOL’s database . This platform is particularly useful for Lennar employees who might have lost track of their 401k accounts due to job changes or relocations. Additionally, individuals can seek assistance from the nonprofit  Pension Rights Center . If your employer or pension plan falls under one of the 30 states covered by the U.S. Administration for Community Living's Pension Counseling and Information Program, the center will link you to free services.

For Lennar employees looking to recover unclaimed benefits from closed private sector pension plans, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) offers an online platform at  pbgc.gov/workers-retirees . Even if the company that sponsored a pension plan has gone out of business, PBGC helps make certain that retirees continue to receive their benefits.

A searchable database for unclaimed funds across 49 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico is available at  missingmoney.com . Managed by the National Association of State Treasurers, this website aids in locating various unclaimed assets, including uncashed checks from banks, businesses, and local governments, dormant brokerage accounts, and even the contents of unclaimed safe-deposit boxes. The website also provides direct access to the Hawaii-specific register for residents with assets in the state.

Additionally, Lennar employees can locate U.S. savings bonds or other treasury securities that may have gone unpaid by visiting  treasuryhunt.gov . This tool, managed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, allows individuals to search for unpaid bonds or interest payments by entering their Social Security number, full name, and state. It may be particularly helpful for Lennar employees who may have inherited or forgotten about savings bonds purchased years ago. By entering your full name, state, and Social Security number, you can find out if you are eligible for any unclaimed funds. The federal government is dedicated to reuniting people with their unclaimed financial assets, and this service plays a significant role in that mission.

The Department of Labor's  Workers Owed Wages website  is another critical resource for those seeking back wages that might have been left unpaid. If you haven’t collected any unpaid wages, you can file a claim within three years.

Lastly, if you have funds trapped in bank or credit union failures, you may be able to retrieve them. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) tracks  unclaimed deposits from closed banks , and the  National Credit Union Administration’s website  lists funds left behind by bankrupt credit unions, which can be reclaimed by their rightful owners.
