After a Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge, you can typically cash out your 401(k) as soon as your plan allows, since bankruptcy laws generally protect retirement accounts from creditors. However, it's important to check the specific terms of your 401(k) plan, as some plans may have restrictions on withdrawals or require you to be separated from employment. Additionally, cashing out a 401(k) can result in taxes and penalties, so it's advisable to consult with a financial advisor before proceeding.
