The typical Nexus 401(k) process takes 2–4 weeks from application submission to funded business, assuming the application is complete and the sending custodian processes the rollover on a standard timeline. Fast, straightforward cases can finish in 2–3 weeks; some cases take longer when a custodian, state filing, or additional documentation request slows the process.

The Biggest Variable: Your Custodian

The single biggest factor in your timeline is how quickly your current retirement account custodian processes the rollover transfer. This is outside of Talcott Forge’s control.
You can help speed things up by contacting your custodian early to understand their rollover process and any forms they require.
