Yes, only if you are taking the loan from a 401(k) with your current employer, but the loan may only be used for the following specific actions:

* Education expenses for self, spouse or dependent child

* Eviction prevention from principal residence

* Medical expenses that may not be reimbursed

* First-time purchase of a principal residence

Most 401(k) plans allow the owner to take a loan out (despite being a legal feature of the plan, the cost to administrate loans is usually too high for some businesses and they choose NOT to allow the feature) for specific reasons. There are limitations on the minimum and maximum amounts borrowable and payments must usually be made through payroll deductions.

If you have a 401(k) with an employer that you no longer work for, they will not typically allow you to take a loan.
