U.S. citizens cannot be deported from the United States â unless, that is, they committed fraud in order to obtain their green card or citizenship. (If you are interested in the benefits of U.S. citizenship, read our articles on the naturalization process and dual citizenship.)
Hardship withdrawals are limited to two per calendar year and can only be taken from assets held in accounts at Fidelity. Participants should call the Fidelity Retirement Service Center at 1.800.343.0860 to request a hardship withdrawal. Participants must submit appropriate supporting documentation to Fidelity prior to being approved to receive a hardship distribution. If the distribution is approved, a suspension of the participantâs voluntary contributions (and any associated match) will be implemented for a minimum of six months.
Call 800-343-3548 and a rollover specialist will help you every step of the way. They can answer your questions, plus help you initiate the distribution and complete any paperwork that may be required. *Note that if you have an existing IRA at Fidelity, you can roll your assets into that account (see the next question). Can I roll over assets into my Traditional IRA? Yes, you can but it's important to be aware that if you do roll pre-tax 401(k) funds into a traditional IRA, you may not be able to roll those funds back into an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Contact your tax advisor for more information.
