Tyler, TX — Should you insure a loan from your 401(k) plan? It sounds like a needless expense. After all, when you borrow from your 401(k) you are borrowing from yourself.

Policymakers have long been concerned with borrowing from your 401(k) that money leaves the plans and is never replaced. This happens through hardship withdrawals and when workers shift employers and cash-out a portion of their account before rolling proceeds into an IRA or their new employer’s plan.
