Okay, my 401(k) plan investment options suck. I want to roll the money into an IRA so I can choose better (lower fee) options.
However, our plan does not offer in-service withdrawals, and I like my job.
Can I arrange a scheme with my employer where I "quit" for a period of time, unpaid, and then I am hired back? If so, can I rollover the funds while I have "quit"?
I am fully vested in my 401(k), and my employer has a written policy in place where employees who are re-hired within four years keep all their seniority benefits like vacation time and 401(k) vesting schedules, so the only thing I would lose would be my paycheck while I am in "quit" status.
If this is legal and works, how long would I have to "quit" for in order to do all the required paperwork? What risks am I incurring by trying this?
