Can I get a hardship withdrawal from my 401K to prevent "eviction" from my primary residence if that residence is an extended stay motel? This is my primary and only residence. i have been living in motels for 4+ years, since I lost my home during cancer treatment as an uninsured patient. If so, what should the plan be willing to accept as proof as i will have no formal eviction notice? But believe me, if my weekly rate is not paid by noon on my due date, i will be evicted from the property. This request is not made lightly. I am trying to save for retirement in 10 years at 62 as my health will not allow me to work forever, and i have been making catchup payments. but this is an emergency.
