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.
if i am getting unemployment benefits in florida and take money from my 401k does that disqualify me from unemployment benefits
yes. once you withdraw the money it is taxable as income.
Apparently, the money you put in a 401K Plan and withdrawn would not be deducted from unemployment benefits, but possibly that contributed by the employer may be deducted.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
can you collect unemployment and make withdrawls from a 401k when 591/2 in maine
can you close out your 401k and still receive unemployment benefits
At 65 there is no penalty tha I am aware of
Some states vary but My understanding is you can IF the amount from the 401k is not larger than your unemployment benefit payment.
Yes. If you're unemployed and otherwise eligible for unemployment payments, a rollover of 401k assets does not change that.
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.)
Many times, when you leave an employer, they may ask you to take your 401k plan with you, especially if the plan balance is low. In these cases, many people chose to rollover the 401k instead of cashing it out.
sorry but no it is almost impossible
