can you close out your 401k and still receive unemployment benefits
To the extent that your 401k distribution includes Employer contributions, a percentage of the distribution would be used to offset your unemployment benefit. If there are no Employer contributions there would be no effect on your benefits.
Yes, but it is possible that Texas MAY deduct from your unemployment benefits that portion of your 401k that was contributed by the employer. Check the Related Link below and the Texas 'office to determine their criteria.
Apparently, the money you put in a 401K Plan and withdrawn would not be deducted from unemployment benefits, but possibly that contributed by the employer may be deducted. It is best to contact the unemployment office and find out for sure. The Related Link below gives more detail. 401K is similar in many respects to pension payments

The laws regarding the impact of 401K disbursements can vary by states. As with most states, it can impact your unemployment benefits in Indiana, depending on the specifics of your 401K. Depending on whether or not you were fully vested, reporting a 401K disbursement can delay your unemployment benefits. If you are not fully vested, then your 401K withdraw is exactly the same as withdrawing money from a bank account, cashing in a bond, or any other financial instrument. In other words, you are withdrawing and paying taxes on money already earned from that employer. However, if you're fully vested you would be taking money that your employer matched, in addition to money you already earned. In this case, the amount of your 401K disbursement would be divided by the amount of weekly unemployment benefits. The number of weeks you come up with when you divide your disbursement by the amount of weekly benefit, will delay your unemployment benefits until that number of weeks have passed. I am not attorney, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. :P Actually, I asked a friend of mine who is a 3rd year law school student and he said this is how he understands it. (I.E. - if the money is all yours it shouldn't impact unemployment benefits, but if you're fully vested and taking your money plus additional employer matching funds it will delay it.)
Apparently several claims were appealed, in Ohio, concerning unemployment and 401ks. The 401k is considered a resource for the claimant, but it does not prevent applying for benefits, per se, it seems to cause adjustment to the benefits.
