You can also choose to rollover the 401(k) plan to your new employer's 401(k) plan, to an IRA, or another qualified retirement plan.

Pre-tax contributions and related earnings can only be withdrawn before 59 ½ if you are facing a financial emergency such as foreclosure, eviction, burial expenses, or medical expenses. Once you reach age 59 ½, you will be allowed to withdraw your contributions even if you don’t have a financial emergency.
