In-Service Withdrawal A withdrawal made from a plan account before the holder experiences a triggering event. Investopedia Says: Some plans, such as profit-sharing plans and 401(k)s, allow for distributions to be made before a triggering event occurs. In most other instances, these withdrawals will be penalized according to the 10% standard.
