question 1 answer is yes it's about the WARN act. and it is not settled yet. Question 2 answer is no. has nothing to do with the 401k. Fidelity should have made contact over 3 years ago. I took mine and rolled it into a IRA. As far as the next of kin goes I don't know the answer to that one. I would think it would go to the estate.
I sure hope that everyone gets as much money as they can. I dont have any faith in this law suit anymore. But, Ive been wrong before.
