[QUOTE="UPSGUY72, post: 941801, member: 14514"] [LEFT][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]A hardship withdrawal is not like a plan loan. The withdrawal may be difficult to get, and costly if you receive it. Remember, your 401k is meant to provide retirement income. It should be a last-resort source of cash for expenses before then.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Knowing that workers would resist putting aside money for decades with no chance to access it, Congress made provisions in the 401k rules to allow plan withdrawals in a limited number of hardship situations. These include:[/FONT][/COLOR] [LIST] [*=left]Un-reimbursed medical expenses for you, your spouse, or dependents. [*=left]Purchase of an employee's principal residence.

[*=left]Certain expenses for the repair of damage to the employee's principal residence. [/LIST][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]But to discourage these early hardship withdrawals, in most all cases the IRS imposes a hefty financial penalty including a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty if you are younger than 59 1/2.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]You may qualify to take a penalty-free withdrawal if you meet one of the following exceptions:[/FONT][/COLOR] [LIST] [*=left]You become totally disabled.
