Hardship withdrawal requests up after Sandy | Synopsis

Hardship withdrawal requests up after Sandy

Excerpt:

Unlike after Hurricane Katrina, the IRS has not yet announced special tax relief that would make such withdrawals less costly in regards to taxes and penalties, but this is a possibility. Folks affected by Sandy should also contact the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to apply for assistance. Before taking a hardship withdrawal from your employer's retirement plan, you need to know that these special withdrawals are different from loans. Hardship withdrawals are taxable and include a 10 percent penalty for early withdrawal. Hardship withdrawals, which are available in many 401(k) plans, allow individuals in certain situations to take a distribution from their 401(k) or other retirement plan accounts while they are still working for the employer that sponsors the plan.
