  I've spent a total of 6 months having to help trouble shoot their own system to establish my 401k. I thought this was resolved as of 2+ months ago. From what I can tell, I am making withdrawals each check to contribute to my 401k. But none apparently has been invested. Upon trying to dive deeper again, I am unable to gain access to the account. Every time I try to log in, I receive an error. They also have a new beta hub program which may be causing all the problems. But its hard to tell from the ******************* from this company. I've probably spent a cumulative 24 hours on the phone with Slavic in the past 6 months and no one knows what they're doing. You get transferred in circles until you're mad enough to give up for the day. No one wants to help or cares about your money or retirement. This has to be the worst **** company. The level of disorganization, unhelpfulness, and pure disregard for morals is beyond me. I have never been caused this level of stress from just about anything. But a random 401k service is able to do that... I love my job, but I might find another just to never have to use Slavic ever again.

  [1 star because I have to]Once again, I am following up my inquiry regarding my 401(k) account from my employment between 2021 and 2022. I have confirmed that I previously held a 401(k) with Slavic401k. I encountered an "Invalid Token" error when attempting to log in to my account online. During a customer service phone call on 4/3/25, I was informed that my 401(k) had been transferred to Empower. ******* has confirmed that they have no record of my Slavic401k account within their system. I requested from Slavic401k the balance during my aforementioned call, but they were unable to provide this information.I require immediate assistance in retrieving my 401(k) funds. Please provide detailed instructions on how to access and retrieve my funds if they are still held by Slavic401k. If the funds were indeed transferred, please provide the name of the company the funds were transferred to, a contact name and phone number at that company, any account information, including account numbers, balances, and the date of the transfer, and documentation proving the transfer occurred.I expect a prompt response with the requested information.Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

  Thank you for reaching out regarding your 401(k) account. We understand your concerns and appreciate your patience as we address this matter. Upon reviewing your account history, we have confirmed that you took a distribution and liquidated your 401(k) account in 2022, prior to the merger with *******. As a result, the merger did not impact your account, which explains why there is no balance for you at Empower.
  
  To provide clarity and documentation, we have generated the necessary reports confirming the distribution and liquidation of your account. We attempted to contact you via phone, but were unable to reach you and left a voicemail. Additionally, we have sent a follow-up email with the relevant information. We will continue to follow up with you to ensure you receive the documentation and resolution you need. If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
  
  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

  THE WEBSITE AND ACCESS PHONE NUMBERS DO NOT WORK. THEIR EMPLOYEES DO NOT RETURN CALLS. THEY WILL NOT TRANSFER TO SUPERVISORS NOR WILL THEY GIVE PHONE NUMBERS AND EMAILS OF MANAGEMENT. THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE AS BOOKKEEPERS. CHOOSE ANOTHER FIRM

  Can't believe it take so long to withdraw your own money. Other loans giving you money within a day or 2 ************ will have you bankrupt waiting on your withdrawal..No way it should take 3 weeks to receive your own money

  They lie! Called yesterday and they lady said my check was overnighted with ****** she even put me on hold to double check)and I would get it today 09-06-2024. I called today to get a tracking number, and the *** said it hasn't even been sent! Wait What!?!?!? He said it would be another 3-5 days! Huh?!?!? It says on my portal it's been completed, what's been completed? I did the withdrawal on 08-13-2024, it says ***** business days, and add 1-3 days if having it sent overnight. None of what they say makes sense . The straight up lie was the worst! Please start telling the truth! Also please look back on the phone call transcripts from 09-05-2024 when I called and spoke to customer service! She straight up lied!!!

  Dear *****, 
  
  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with your loan request. As a Third Party Administrator, we occasionally encounter unforeseen challenges that may delay the processing of requests. We regret the lack of communication from our customer service team regarding the potential extension of our standard processing time due to these challenges. Once we obtained the necessary information, our team expedited the processing of your request. Please be aware that your plan involves paying agent services, and part of the payout process is managed by an external company. Unfortunately, this detail was overlooked by the customer service agent assisting you, leading to a misunderstanding about the expected timeline for your request.

  This is being addressed internally and we appreciate the information. Thank you for your patience and we truly appreciate your business. 

  Best regards, 

  Slavic401k Service Team

  The last time I requested a distribution was in April. It was canceled because they said I could only make one distribution per year. I showed them in the contract that it said if you're over 59.5 years, you can make one distribution per calendar year. They agreed. It dragged on and on, but I eventually go the distribution through. August 12, 2024, I filed for another distribution. Ten days later, my request was canceled because, "you're only allowed one distribution per year". I called on August 23, to point out again what our contract says. I was told that yes, I was right and that Y*** had no idea why I was told that. I asked for an expedited remedy. On August 28, I had received no phone call, no emails and no texts from Slavic to indicate that they were rectifying their mistake. So, I called and got the same story. Yes, I can make monthly distributions. Yes, the person who canceled my request had made a mistake. Yes, I should have received some communication within two business days. The bottom line is that they have my money and don't want to give it to me. I am now at 16 days and this organization cannot correctly process a simple transaction. They have an informational Teams meeting coming up. I hope the presenter will first teach the employees there how to do distributions.

  I think this company should be investigated .. I am the trustee for a client of theirs who passed and was told to fill out the paperwork they emailed me. Which I did and sent all information they asked for.. they would mail a check to the trust which they did not.. Now when I call it looks as if theyve blocked my number..

  Hi ********, we are sorry to hear about your experience with our phone system and customer service team regarding the beneficiary distribution you are attempting to complete. We have reviewed our records and were unable to locate that we received a beneficiary distribution for our mutual client. Please forward the distribution request and supporting documentation to the customer service ambassador who reached out to you directly via email. He will be your individual point of contact moving forward and will work with our internal teams to get your request processed. He would also like to set up a phone call with you to discuss the difficulties you are having with the phone system and answer any questions you may have. Please reply to his email or call him back directly to set up a time to chat. Thank you and we appreciate your business.

  started process to roll over company matching 401k Feb 16. Per website process should take ***** business days(3 weeks tops). it is now March 26 and still no check received by my **** Received email March 18 stating distribution (check) sent and will be received 7-10 days. Presently I'm on hold 25 minutes asking when was check sent. It was confirmed March 18 check was mailed and now 7 days later still not received. I have issue with a check mailed from ******* to ********** taking over a week. So now I'm being told if check does not arrive by Friday/Monday Slavic will issue new check and I can have it overnighted with tracking info for a FEE. I wonder who has been earning interest on my money while waiting for check to show up.

  Hi ****,

  We apologize for the delay in receiving you funds. The issue stemmed from your former company no longer being in business and we were unable to get the required verifications of your employment dates before we could legally release the funds. We have since received the required verification and the funds were mailed to you via standard mail. As agreed upon on a phone call with our service ambassador, if you do not receive the check today, we will stop and reissue the check via overnight mail and cover the expenses as a courtesy. Thank you and we appreciate your business.

  Slavic is absolutely the worst!!! Its taken a week to do a simple update for my status just to even take out a withdrawal. Ive been getting the run around for a week and still nothing! Im dreading even having to go through the withdrawal process with them because if it takes this long just to update something simple in their system, I cant imagine how long itll take when they actually have to do something significant like take my money out. Ive dealt with numerous investment companies and Ive never encountered issues like this before.

  Hi ********, we have expedited your distribution request and traded the funds on the market today. Your money should issue within the next 3-7 business days and your overnight and electronic fund transfer fees have been waived as a courtesy. We apologize for the extra time it took to get your termination date updated.
