According to the IRS, "a retirement plan may, but is not required to, provide for hardship distributions."

If an employer does have a provision for hardship distributions, it can determine and limit the type of hardship withdrawals allowed. Some plans only allow distribution for medical or funeral expense, for example, and not for paying for a home or tuition.

Can you provide your employer with a copy of your mortgage agreement or rental lease? These would show the amounts you are spending. You will have to prove your situation.

You may also want to contact your state and community social services offices to see if emergency assistance is available.
