Texa$aver Withdrawals for Former Employees

While you are still employed, you can withdraw funds from your Texa$aver accounts for financial hardship withdrawals and withdrawals when you reach 59 1/2. You must exhaust your 401(k) loan and/or 457 loan options before you can apply for a financial hardship withdrawal.

Age 59½ Withdrawals

Withdrawals taken from your 401(k) account if you are age 59½ or older will not have a penalty. However, a 20% tax on your withdrawal will be withheld if the funds are not rolled over to an IRA or other qualified plan.

For more information or withdrawal assistance, contact Texa$aver.
