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. If you have a financial emergency, you can choose to withdraw your 401(k) money, but be aware that you will owe income taxes and a potential penalty if you are below 59 ½. 

Target 401k withdrawal

Pre-tax contributions and related earnings can only be withdrawn before 59 ½ if you are facing a financial emergency such as foreclosure, eviction, burial expenses, or medical expenses.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.
