Click Topic Below For Headlines The Issue of Debit Cards Attached to 401(k) Loans Posted today (2 hours ago) Excerpt: "Recently, the SEC issued a bulletin warning consumers that such 401(k) 'debit' cards were, in fact, credit cards against funds that must be repaid. If borrowers fail to repay the loan within five years, or if they miss three consecutive months of payments, that loan will be treated as a 401(k) distribution, and taxes will be assessed on the balance.
