401k Withrawal after 55 retirement.
I retired from a company at age 55. I left my all the funds accumulated in that 401k after retirement, the account is still active although I have not deposited finds since. I now work for another company and plan to buy a house. My understanding is I can withdraw penalty free (paying applicable taxes) since the fund is with the original employer I retired from. Is this correct?

Yes, you are correct. If you are "separated from service" from the company where your 401(k) resides in the year you turn 55 or later, then indeed you can make withdrawals from that plan without the 10% early withdrawal penalty. This is one of the advantages of 401(k) plans over a traditional IRA. It does not matter that you are now employed elsewhere. |

Anyone know the status of the "once discussed" one time allowance for a 10K early withdrawal from 401K's? Also will this simply be a reprieve from the penalty or will it ALSO be excluded from taxable income?
What rights do I have if your employer takes money from your paycheck that is suppose to go into your 401K but kept the money. They keep saying they are going to put it back but it has not been replaced. It has been 8 months
Company says I cannot withdrawal 401k until 59 1/2 who do I talk to to get retirement and not quite job
I will be retiring in 7 months and want to have part of my 401 sent to me monthly is it best to roll most of it into IRA accounts and put some into money market savings where I can access some monthly. Do not feel that I will have money to pay an investor. Thanks:)
