How can I withdraw money from my retirement account?

You can withdraw money from your retirement account only as permitted by your employer’s plan. Keep in mind that there may be early withdrawal penalties and possible tax consequences for a withdrawal, and any type of distribution will reduce the value of your retirement savings. Some of the more common examples of events that may allow you to make a distribution may include: In-service distribution: Your plan may allow an in-service distribution from your retirement savings and any matching dollars from you company when you reach the age of 59 ½, even if you are still employed. If you have rollover dollars you can request an in-service distribution at any time, subject to your plan’s procedures.



Termination: When you leave the company you will receive distribution paperwork where you can indicate what you would like to do with your retirement account. Your options may include leaving the funds in the retirement plan; rolling your dollars to a new employer’s retirement plan, or an IRA; or receiving an immediate cash distribution of your funds.



Hardship withdrawal: Your salary deferral dollars may be eligible for a hardship distribution. Consult your human resources representative or your Union Bank & Trust educator if you are experiencing heavy financial need for one of the following conditions and are interested in learning more about a potential hardship withdrawal:

- Expenses for medical care for you, your spouse, your dependents,

  or your primary beneficiary

- Costs directly related purchasing your home (excluding mortgage

  payments)

- Post-secondary education expenses for yourself, your spouse, your

  dependents, or your primary beneficiary

- If you are facing eviction or foreclosure from your primary residence

- Payments for burial or funeral expenses for your deceased parent, spouse,

  children, dependents, or your primary beneficiary

- Expenses for repair of damage to your primary residence

What are catch-up contributions?

Congress has passed laws allowing retirement plan participants who are 50 or older to make what are known as catch-up contributions. If your plan restricts your annual contributions to an amount less than the maximum federal limit, you may still be able to make a full catch-up contribution of $6,000 in 2019.
