I had heard that in 2009 the President would let you take up to 10000.00 out of your 401K without a penality. Is this true.?
Though penalty-free withdrawals were initially part of the President's economic recovery plan, that measure never made it through Congress. As of right now, a 10% early withdrawal penalty is still assessed if you choose to take money out of your 401K.

What can you do with your 401k after you have been terminated?
You may be able to leave your 401k with the employer. Some plans will allow this some will not. Read your 401k Summary Plan to learn what your plan says. The BEST IDEA would be to transfer your 401k savings to your Traditional IRA. Select your IRA custodian, and tell them what you want to do. This IRA custodian will help you with this transfer. Doing a Trustee To Trustee Transfer is best. This would guarantee no tax withholding, no tax and no penalty. Now you have many more investment choices for your retirement savings. Here is one you can do, but it is not recommended. You can take the 401k money for your use. Here 20% will be withheld for income tax and and if applicable, the 10% penalty. But don't think that will pay the tax and penalty on this. The tax and penalty will likely be more than the the amount withheld . It is likely you will also need to pay state income tax on this amount. If have a new employer, some 401k plans will accept money from your former employer's 401k. You may be able to move your old 401k money to your new employer's 401k plan. Most 401k plans will not do this.

Are 401k loan repayments pre tax dollars or post tax dollars?
After Tax Dollars. Any loan you take is repaid in after tax dollars and 401k loans are no different. The money you take out is not taxed so you get the benefit of that. Technically you can default on it and not repay it at all - then you are hit with the big penalty tax as it would be considered a distribution. So it's up to you - pay it with after tax money, or don't pay it and get hit with the tax and the penalty for early withdrawal tax.
Are there any circumstances where I can take an early withdrawal without penalty from a 401K retirement plan?
There are a number of restrictions and requirements regarding early withdrawals from a 401K. Additionally, the IRS regulations often change. Your best bet is to discuss your situation with your fund manager or consult with your tax professional.
How old do you have to be to take money out of 401k?
You can take money out of a 401k if you leave the company, your employer dissolves the plan, you qualify for a limited number of hardship exceptions, or you reach the "retirement age" specified in your employer's 401k plan. You will have to ask your employer or check the plan documents to find the age. To avoid the 10% excise tax ("penalty") on early distributions, you must be age 59 1/2 or you must have left your employer in the year you reached 55 or later.
