If you cannot get money from any other source and you need money for something like staving off foreclosure (financial hardship), you can withdraw money with no penalty. Taxes would be need to be paid and you can only withdraw the exact amount you need.

Can you withdraw funds from your IRA account at anytime?

Yes. But there may be penalties for early withdrawal. And, if it is a traditional IRA there will also be federal (and maybe state) income taxes due, as well as a ten percent penalty to the IRS under most cases, if the withdrawal is made before age 59 1/2. For a roth IRA, there also may be penalties for early withdrawal, but there will be no taxes due if all you withdraw is the amount you originally deposited. Once you are 59 1/2, you may withdraw even the gain without taxes.

Additionally, the Act allows for expanded loan options and relaxed repayment terms for existing loans.


How can I rollover my Roth 401k to a Roth IRA and then withdraw contributions?

To rollover your Roth 401k to a Roth IRA, you need to contact your plan administrator or financial institution to initiate the transfer. Once the rollover is complete, you can withdraw your contributions from the Roth IRA penalty-free, but any earnings withdrawn may be subject to taxes and penalties if you are under 59 1/2 years old.

How come one can withdraw money from a bpi family passbook even if the account is not under her name and without approval from the depositor?

You cannot. No bank would allow someone to withdraw money from another persons bank account without their approval. Trying to do so is illegal and you can be jailed for it. Also, if a bank is lax in its security precautions and allows such transactions, the bank can be closed by the central bank.
