If someone empties their 401k account before it reaches a certain level then there is a 10% penalty on the money in the account. There are some exceptions to this penalty.
To avoid any penalties you should roll your 401k into an IRA account.

Yes, if the Certificate of Deposit is inside an IRA account or another 401k account. If you are eligible to take a 401k distribution, you could take the money and buy a regular CD, but you would pay the same taxes and penalties that would apply if you didn't roll the money over.

Money invested into a 401K is taken out before taxes are calculated. If you close out that 401K early you will not only pay tax on the amount you receive, but you will also be hit with a early withdrawal penalty of 10%. The only way to avoid those penalties is to roll the 401K over into another qualifying 401K or other retirement account. Start by checking at your new job to see if the money can be rolled over into their retirement account. If they don't offer a 401K, or if you just don't care for what they have, you can transfer that money into a qualifying account with your bank or local credit union. Be sure to do it within 90 days to avoid being hit with penalties.
