Yes, you would get the 401(k) match.
If you are displaced today (October 17, 2026), your 60-day paid notice period will run through December 16, 2026. Because you remain an active employee of record on the corporate payroll through the end of that notice window, you will officially cross the critical December 15th eligibility deadline.

Ah, is this why they are changing PR timing back to what it was like 21 years ago in January 2027?? So they have more time to not include folks in end of year payroll...i.e. next year safe date will be different.
True. Even monthly would be better than this garbage.
They should match each paycheck anything else is stealing.
I was laid off this past January, got my 401k match and bonus plus 10 months severance. although wish I hadn't been laid off
@ae - you can be "displaced" (AKA laid off, AKA position eliminated) with poor performance rating and get the 60 days plus severance
if you are "terminated" for performance you don't get "notice" or severance - you're just fired.
If you've gotten 2 consecutive below meets (25 YE and 26 MY) you will likely be termed before thanksgiving.
even if you are laid off on pretext of below meets performance, do you get the 60 days?
I'd rather keep working and making my match till I retire.
Congratulations.. At Wells Fargo you survived. You didn't succeed.
