Answer 2/2 - Submitted 3/3/2011

You never have to leave your 401k balance with your former employer, for any reason.

Just remember, if you choose to take a an early disbursement you'll have to pay income tax along with a 10% penalty, unless you're rolling the balance into another qualified plan.

And yes, what exactly is your question? What most people consider a hardship may not match what the IRS considers a hardship for waiving the penalty portion, and the income tax is never waived.
