I took money out of my 401K and lost my benefits for a five months. So did any of my group who were laid off who took any money out. We are all from Ohio. I am not sure how the person who answered yes could have gotten around this. We were all senior employees and it was old money. Didn't matter. If you took any of it, it off set our unemployment.
To qualify for unemployment compensation you have to have lost your job through no fault of your own, or quit with justifiable reasons. You also have to be ready, willing, and able to go to work immediately in a full time job which you are required to be seeking. Maternity leave under those conditions does not seem to apply.
I lost my job and have submitted papers to withdraw my pension contributions. I will receive a check with me as the payee. Will this affect my eligibility for unemployment benefits in California? If it would, could I correct that by rolling it into an IRA with the 60 days allowed before having to claim it as income, per California tax law?
sorry but no it is almost impossible
Yes you can but you will have to pay a 10% penalty on early withdraw of your 401k if you are under 59 1/2 and they will automatically take out a minimum of 20% Federal taxes (or more). But since that is money you have already earned it does not count against your unemployment benefits. If you have money in savings it does not count against you being able to collect UI either.

Pension or 401K payments: Payments from a 401K or other pension plan, will not affect your unemployment benefits if:you are subject to a penalty for early withdrawal;you roll all of it into another retirement fund without taking a payment; or,the payment is from a fund that none of your base period employers paid into (in other words, it is a pension from a former employer that has not paid you any wages in the past 15-18 months). If you retire from your base period employer, your monthly payments will reduce your unemployment benefits dollar for dollar. Example: Pension of $433 per month = $100 per week. UI benefits reduced $100 per week.http://www.uimn.org/ui/other.htm
