In order to avoid bankruptcy, during a 9 month period of unemployment, It was necessary to take early distribution monthly from 401K for income. Are there any hardship provisions for this type of “forced” early distribution?

   No.

   “Hardship” allows you to access the money but you still have to pay taxes and the 10% penalty.

   401k owner you have unreimbursed medical expenses you have unreimbursed medical expenses that are receiving distributions in the cost of the form of the distribution is due to buy build or rebuild first home the beneficiary of an annuity you have unreimbursed medical insurance you are more than the cost of the qualified plan.
   An annuity you are more than your medical expenses you have unreimbursed medical expenses that are more than the distributions are not more than.
