Post     Post subject: retirement plan

my place of employment did away with our retirement plan as of dec.31,2007 and we are able to take the ammount minus 20% for federal taxes. Is this a good idea I want to use some of the money to pay down my mortgage and save the rest

Hi Guest!

You can either pay off your mortgage with that money or you can also rollover your 401k plan with your new employer if any or you can roll it over with the IRA.

Thanks.

Post     Post subject: 403b Defaulted

I've defaulted on my 401b loan, can I use money that remains in my 403b account to pay off the defaulted loan?
Also, my employer will no longer allow me to have 403b deposits made to my current carrier, they claim it's mandatory to switch to the company of their choice. What options do I have with the money in my existing 403b account?

Hi Dyanne

As far as I know, people are allowed to take loans on their 403(b) plans. However, you will have to repay the loan in at least quarterly installments. If you are buying a primary residence, then you have 30 years to pay it back but if you are taking loan for other reasons, then you must pay the loan back within a 5-year period.

As far as your second question is concerned, I haven't heard of anything like "switching to the company of their choice".

Thanks

Hi Edmund Anderson,

Check out a sample 403b withdrawal form. You can show this form to your 403b plan administrator and check whether it is applicable in your case.

Thanks

Is it true that you can borrow off your 403b plan once every calender year even if you have a small loan out already for 2,400.00

Negotiating with them is the option for you. You will have to convince them as to why you need the loan.

Post     Post subject: paying for closing costs on a new home

Hi. I am in the process of buying a home. With the new FHA guidelines, I have only saved the amount to serve as the down payment. I just found out that I will need to come to the table with an additional 5k down for closing costs. Closing is scheduled for March 27th. What is your opinion on boroowing this amount from my STRS which has about 65k in it? I am tenured and have been teaching in my current district for 9 years.

As you will be teaching in the same district for some more time, I think you will be able to borrow a certain amount from your STRS.

Hi lisalucy,

If you default on the 403b loan, the unpaid balance will be treated as an early distribution from your 403(b) and will lead to taxes and a 10% penalty. As far as I know, if you default 403b loan, your credit will be affected.

Thanks
