Federal Disaster Area 401(k) & IRA Penalty-Free Distributions and Loans
Individuals who experience a hurricane, flood, wildfire, earthquake, or other type of natural disaster may be eligible to request a Qualified Disaster Recovery Distribution or loan from their 401(k) or IRA to assist financially with the recovery process. The passing of the Secure Act 2.0 opened up new distribution and loan options for individuals whose primary residence is in an area that has been officially declared a “Federal Disaster” area.
Qualified Disaster Recovery Distributions (QDRD)
In December 2022, the passing of the Secure Act 2.0 made permanent, a distribution option within both 401(K) plans and IRAs, that allows individuals to distribute up to $22,000 from either a 401(k) or IRA, and that distribution is exempt from the 10% early withdrawal penalty. Typically, when an individual is under the age of 59½ and takes a distribution from a 401(K) or IRA, the distribution is subject to both taxes and a 10% early withdrawal penalty.
For an individual, it’s an aggregate of $22,000 between both their 401(k) and IRA accounts, meaning, they can’t distribute $22,000 from their IRA and then another $22,000 from their 401(k), and avoid the 10% penalty on the full $44,000.
If you are married, if each spouse has an IRA and/or 401(k) plan, each spouse would be eligible to process a qualified disaster recovery distribution for the full $22,000 and avoid the 10% penalty on the combined $44,000.

In the past, companies have been allowed to limit access to their 401(k) plan to just full-time employees but that is about to change starting in 2024. With the passing of the Secure Act, beginning in 2024, companies that sponsor 401(K) plans will be required to allow part-time employees to participate in their qualified retirement plans. It’s very important for companies to make note of this n...

401(K) plans with over 100 eligible plan participants are considered “large plans” in the eyes of DOL and require an audit to be completed each year with the filing of their 5500.

Toward the end of 2022 and for the first half of this year, many economists and market analysts were warning investors of a recession starting within the first 6 months of 2023.

Avoid Taking Auto Loans For More Than 5 Years - The Negative Equity Wave
In the State of Ohio, Life Estates offer minimal protection. There is a chart under the Ohio Revised Code that shows what ownership percentage the Life Tenants still own, despite transferring the property via a Life Estate. My grandparents set up a life estate in 2005. In 2021 after my grandfather died, my grandmother needed nursing care. Despite achieving the 5 year look-back, Medicaid determined she still owned 24% of the life estate property and instructed the family to sell off her position in the Life Estate (who would buy that?) or, sell off parts of the estate until she hit 24%, spend it down, then she would become eligible for Medicaid. Life Estates used to offer protection due to Mediaid recovery rules that indicated only probated assets could be recovered against. That law changed in 2005, removing a lot of the protections Life Estates used to offer.
Thank you for sharing!! The rules do vary a lot from state to state. (Comment for education. Not advice) #gfg
So that means if ur monthly 1900 then u have to pay each month 700 dollars
Here's a situation. Couple buys a house and Mom, who is 87 co-signed on the loan to help the kids qualify. So, Mom is on the Mortgage and Tile to the house. Couple takes care of Mom at home but now wants to place mom in a facility. Mom has no Assets and the house has no equity. No Trust is in place... YET! So, if they place mom in a community that accepts medicaid, can the State put a lien on the kids house? Or what would the options be?
If mom is on the title of the house, she is technically part owner, and the county could place a lien against her portion of ownership of the house. If she is already in the process of qualifying for Medicaid now, there is no time to satisfy the 5 year look back if your state has that look back period for Medicaid. Whether or not the house has equity now does not matter for purposes of the lien being put on the title because the house could appreciate in value while she is receiving Medicaid creating equity that can be recaptured by Medicaid upon her passing. Also if the house has a mortgage, usually a bank will not allow it to be owned or partially owned by an irrev trust. (Comment for education. Not advice) #gfg
Asking for a friend, how foes anyone know/track if someone gives any amount of money to someone else?

Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.
True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.
Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect my funds and make profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.
This is exactly how i wish to get my finances coordinated ahead of retirement. Can I get access to your advisor?
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I needed this myself, I looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
Don’t ever have a car loan. Buy only what you can afford.
Fucking Republicans party has screwed us for the rich. I have had to paid taxes in seventy two years ,so, I am ask to paid taxes after I retire, because I can not survive on just social security. I must continue to work in order to paid my bills. I will never again vote Republican. They are a bunch of a crooks.
That was helpful. I'm thinking of starting my SS at 64 as opposed to FRA of 67. My family history and health indicate an early exit from this mortal coil so rather than wait until FRA for the full amount I think having some money now for savings and quality of life is a good trade off. And if I do go over the income limit and the SS holding a few months a year may be worth it. Thank you.
Govt needs your money to go to Ukraine and Illegals
Can I have child dependent ss benefits deposited to my own personal bank account for me to subsidize my childrens expenses and prevent ssa from asking it back when they turn 18?
They did not withhold any full months to get paid back. They are taking 10% per month until paid off. The payoff runs past FRA so not sure how that affects the refund from them.
Over contributed how ridiculous does that sound,you have been taught all your life to save and then the irs puts a cap on how much you can such bs
The new rules worked out for me. I inherited an IRA in 2020 while still working and in the top tax bracket. RMD penalties have been forgiven for 2020 through 2024 so I saved vs the old stretch rules. Now I have 6 years to empty the account while I am retired and in a low bracket emptying the account before SS kicks in.
I just retired and spouse still works. If I understand it correctly she can contribute $31k to her 401k and $8k to an IRA and I can do $8k to an IRA for a total of $47k totally wiping out her income. Am I missing something? We are below all income limits to contribute.
The Trad IRA contribution may or may not be deductible depending on your income level for the tax year that the IRA contributions are made because your wife is a participant in an employer sponsored plan. There are different income limitations for the plan participant and their spouse (non-participant). (Education not advice) #gfg
You never really pay 20% because in that bracket you would have to pay the additional 3.8% tax so it’s 23.8%.
Do 401k contributions impact the earned income penalty for example if you make $39k and eliminate it all via 401k and IRA. Also if you start collecting early and keep working will they increase as some zero years drop off the calculation?
What happens if you start SS while still working and have some zero income years in your calculation. Does the calculation reset each year so you get more as the zero income years drop off. Also how does 401k contributions impact the penalty calculation. Example what if you eliminate all your income by 401k and IRA contributions.

My wife recently passed at 64 three months before her 65th birthday and when she planned to claim SS benefits. I retired about 2 years prior to her passing and was receiving my pension benefits. I applied for and was awarded survivors benefit but the benefit was reduced to zero because (as it was explained to me) my pension benefit - 75%, was more than the awarded survivor benefit. That's when i was made aware of the GPO. (Government Pension Offset) The rule that says a government (federal, state or local) employee who earns a pension, and you DON'T contribute to SS... My issue is I've been contributing to SS while working at this same job for nearly 40 years. I never stopped contributing to SS and it was never offered to me as an option to stop. Am I missing something? I've since submitted a "reconsideration" application, but I've not heard from SS yet.
Can you tell us how SSDI is taxed?
Too late for me 😭
This is an illegal vote bribery trying to take advantage of young people. It is Biden's another illegal practice to American people with American taxpayers' money.
Hi Mike, just wanted to add one piece to Roth IRA distributions. Yes you are able to take your own contributions tax and penalty free, but only AFTER the Roth IRA has been open for 5 years
The “after 5 years” only pertains to the earning piece and you have to be over age 59.5 for that. You are always able to withdrawal your original contributions tax and penalty free regardless of the 5 year clock because the contributors are made with after tax dollars.

how long would take to recoup the held money after 67 if you worked let's say a whole year or would you be better off just waiting a year to file
Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.
Indeed, currently I'm managing my finances wisely and being frugal. In the last 19 months, my investments grew by 43%, adding over $650K in profits. However, I've had losses in the past month, making me anxious. I'm unsure whether to sell everything or wait.
I think having an investment advisor is the way to go. I've been with one because I lack the expertise for the market. I made over $490K during the recent dip, highlighting that there's more to the market than we average folks know.
My partner’s been considering going the same route, could you share more info please on the advisor that guides you.
Just research the name Angela Lynn Shilling. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thank you. I just checked her out now and I've sent an email. I hope she gets back to me soon. I've been thinking of doing this for a long time now, and I've procrastinated enough already.
What if you make more than your "best 35" while your takeing SS at 62, does that increase your benefits at FRA also, with the payback from the penalty
Does this work in california? Step-up would mean here the explosion in property tax????
very very helpful thank you
Great Information!!!!!
So true
They know a certain number will die before fra, saving them money.

Excellent video thanks
In your example 1, Jim $2500 and Sara $2000. When Jim dies does Sara get $2500 no matter what age she or Jim started benefits? For example Jim’s $2500 is based on age 70 vs Sara $2000 is age 62.
What about if its a survivor benefit that you take before yout FRA? Do you still get penalty back?
Why don’t people ever cover the primary use of a 401k - to invest in assets outside of stocks/bonds? What if someone want to purchase a $500k rental property and they have $400k in their 401k? Can they put the LLC of the property in their 401k? Does the 401k have to have the $500k before purchasing the property or can the account hold partial ownership?
Ok so go spend 35k and put 5k in a shoe box in your room. Come tax season when you owe on the 40k you have it in cash. Why is this rocket science? F#ck it I'm taking out my 401k.
What if you lease? This seems to be the way around this.
I assume if the inherited retirement account is a Roth IRA, then there will be no required RMDs because the original owner didn't have RMDs because RMDs are not required with original Roth IRAs. So the non-spouse beneficiaries can keep the inherited Roth IRA whole, undisturbed for the whole 10 years, at which point the account must be liquidated and closed; but not until the 10th year.. That's basically what Ed Slott says, what do you think. I have no idea what the IRpeSt thinks.
Nyah, I inherited a Roth IRA and have to take RMD's, but this was before the Secure Acts. I'm trying to understand if these IRS rules apply moving forward, or are retroactive to existing inherited IRA's (and inherited Roth IRA's)
Without any additional guidance from the IRS, I would agree with Ed Slott’s interpretation of the inherited Roth where no RMD’s would be required within the 10 year rule because there is no RMD start date for the decedent. (Comment is for education. Not advice) #gfg
Roth IRA’s pre-Secure Act do still have to take RMD’s or any non-spouse beneficiary eligible for the stretch provision post Secure Act would also be required to take an annual RMD. When the Secure Act was passed it introduced the new 10 year rule, and the IRS is still undecided as to whether or not RMD’s will be required DURING the 10 year period. (Comment for education. Not advice) #gfg
@greenbushfinancialgroup I like Ed Slott's, Motley Fool's, and your interpretations. I would like to hear confirmation from the irs soon. My father passed away in 2021, and this whole bs situation is ridiculous. And it's affecting what I can or can't do with the account. I would be in a much better situation now if this was clear over 2 years ago. This is ridiculous! And I'm getting tired of it! ..if I could sue congress and the irs I would. they more than deserve it. .... There's No Legitimate Good Reason Why they would require RMDs for Inherited Roth IRAs! THEY'RE NOT GETTING ANY TAXES FROM IT! They're getting all that from inherited traditional IRA's! Stupid Bastards.
There is no confusion on the Roth issue. IRS regulations are clear that under the 10 year rule there are no RMDs during years 1 through 9. In addition, the IRS has waived penalties for traditional IRA’s subject to 10 year rule RMDs for 2021 through 2024 (all RMDs were waived in 2020 due to COVID).

Hello. If I understand correctly...I over contribute for 2023 and had filed a tax extension. I can width draw contribution and NIA from my Roth, pay capital gain for my NIA amount (from form 1099-R?) but I don't need to file form 5329 because there is no penalty since I am correcting this before the extension deadline, Oct. 15, correct? Basically, I don't need to worry about form 5329?
My wife bought the Tesla and we had no income so we lost the entire 7500.00. This was never told to us we were expecting to get the money back or be able to carry it forward so this really hurts the lower income people the most who do not rely on the government for any support. I feel like we should be able to carry it forward so thats just really sad for my wife and I.
