WITHDRAWALS (WITH OR WITHOUT PENALTIES)

You can make a hardship withdrawal from your 401(k) if your reason meets one of the four IRS definitions of financial hardship:

To purchase a primary residence
To prevent foreclosure or eviction from a primary residence
To pay unreimbursable medical expenses
To pay post-secondary tuition for a member of your immediate family

You must be a current employee to make a hardship withdrawal, and you will be suspended from contributing to the plan for six months following this type of withdrawal. You will receive no employer matching contributions during your suspension.
