Taking a 401(k) loan before filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is generally permissible, but it’s important to consider the implications. The loan must be repaid, and if you default on it, the amount owed may be treated as a distribution, which could impact your bankruptcy case. Additionally, it's advisable to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to understand how the timing and amount of the loan could affect your overall financial situation and bankruptcy filing.
