I work for Fidelity so can tell you that it depends. Your old employer may require paperwork. If so, it could take around 21 days before you get a check. If your old employer does not require paperwork then it takes about 7 days.
You will never be able to withdraw the deferred compensation amounts from the 401K with out having to pay the federal and state income taxes that will be due when you take any distribution amounts from your 401K plan.
No - When you're completing a rollover to a new plan, whether it be an IRA, 403B, 457, or 401K, it is considered to be a "Lump Sum Distribution" of the account. When you take a "Lump Sum Distribution" it automatically defaults the loan on your 401K. "Default" means that it is reported to the IRS as a taxable distribution - So you will be subject to tax and possible penalties on the portion of money not payed back as well as accrued interest.
Yes, if the Certificate of Deposit is inside an IRA account or another 401k account. If you are eligible to take a 401k distribution, you could take the money and buy a regular CD, but you would pay the same taxes and penalties that would apply if you didn't roll the money over. But you can roll a 401k over into another retirement account such as an IRA at a bank and buy a CD with the money in the new account without any taxes or penalties as long as you kept the CD in the IRA account.

There are multiple benefits to saving via a 401K plan. First, you get tax deferral with a regular 401K plan. The amount contributed to your 401K reduces your current year federal and state taxes. Second, contributing to a 401K plan gets you in the habit of paying yourself first. Lastly, many companies provide a company match for a certain percentage that you contribute that is essentially free money to the employee. One downside to 401K plans is that when you leave one job and start a new one, you have to sign up for your new company’s 401K plan. This can lead to a scattering of accounts at different financial institutions and confusion as to how much you have saved for retirement. The primary solution for this problem is to perform a 401K rollover. While there are multiple options for a 401K rollover, often the easiest and most convenient option is to complete a 401K rollover into your current employer’s 401K plan. The first step in the 401K conversion process is to evaluate your current company’s 401K plan against your previous 401K plan. If the plan options are comparable in investment options, investment returns, and expenses, then there is no downside to completing the 401K rollover to your new plan. When considering a 401K rollover, the one thing you do not want to do is to take a lump sum distribution. A lump sum distribution comes with serious tax consequences. First, the 401K company will withhold 20% of your balance for withholding tax to give to the IRA. Secondly, if you are under 59 1/2 you will owe a 10% ealry distribution penalty when you file your taxes for next year. The last step in the 401K conversion process is to file the paperwork. Check with your current company’s 401K plan to see what the process is. Typically the conversion is started by filling out a 401K rollover form with your current 401K plan. You will need to provide the financial company where your previous 401K funds are held and how you want the rollover contributions invested when the money arrives in your current plan.
No...almost impossible.
upon paying off an existing loan how long before you may take out new loan
The average age to start a 401k is between 25 and 34. Starting early allows for more time to accumulate savings and take advantage of compound interest over the long term.
You do.
if i am getting unemployment benefits in florida and take money from my 401k does that disqualify me from unemployment benefits
You contact a company such as Vanguard or T.Rowe Price or Fidelity Funds, and tell them that you want to open a rollover IRA account, for your 401k account. They will have you provide some information (name, address, ssn, etc). Often people will choose a mutual fund for their IRA. Read about them on their website, and ask for their advice. A NO LOAD fund doesn't charge fees to open or buy more shares, or to sell/redeem shares. (There are a LOT of good NO LOAD funds.) Once you've determined which one you want to invest in, you will need to have the company that currently manages your 401k to send the funds DIRECTLY TO THE COMPANY THAT YOU OPENED THE ACCOUNT WITH. If you have the funds come to you first, then send to the new company, then you will incur penalties - it will be as though you've take a distribution.
