Asked 11/25/2008

Can I take a hardship against my 401k if I have outstanding loan that is less than my balance?

My 401k company is advising that because I have a loan outstanding that I cannot request a hardship even though the loan amount is less than the amount of the overall balance that is in my 401K. Is that legal?
