Thank you for the replies. @401king -- my roof was damaged during a storm last year. Received insurance money for the roof but I have interior damage due to water. (electrical, drywall, ceiling etc..) @sCuseFan -- how do I know if my 401(K) offers the safe harbor option? Because what you described is EXACTLY what I'm facing. @ESOP Guy -- yeah, I'm not to keen on possibly commiting a crime. It's my hard earning money though. @kcbrim -- my plan allows for hardship withdraws.

Hi everyone, Straight to the point. I urgently need a 401K withdraw to cover emergency home repairs. I have no other means to pay for the repairs and they're not for improvements but will not qualify for the home repair hardship due to it's not caused by a disaster. I'm considering submitting an eviction notice. Will the 401K admin research the validity? Besides not approving my withdraw, what other actions may they take if invalid? I realize this may come across as nefarious but I do not have anywhere else to turn and the money is NEEDED for repairs to my home. Thanks in advance for any advice.
