The story in a nutshell is this...my mom had a 401k at her company however the company was bought out and she was laid off. Originally her 401k was going to be rollover to the new owners 401k account however the plan didn't go through. She received a letter stating this and asking her what to do with her 401k.
I know if you cash it before time you get charge incomes taxes and 10% penalty. However the most she has on it is 5,000.
What can she do with it? I read she can avoid some penalties if she uses it to pay my college tuition, is this true? By the way my college tuition has been past due for a year now and I haven't been an active student in a year cuz of this......Does anyone have any information on this or any resources we can look to??
