first, contact your former employer so the discrepancy between the e-mail and what some other record shows can be reconciled. if the employer's e-mail was wrong that's too bad. you could get a lawyer but likely they would probably tell you nothing can be done. it's the tax laws that matter. so if you were covered by your employer's non-high deductible plan in March you weren't eligible to contribute. you need to withdraw your contribution and any earnings thereon. contact the plan administrator to do this.
