Post 13 confirmation: 401(k) loan administrator treating loan as an early withdrawal and won't accept trustee's distribu
The Ninth Circuit says in In Re Egebjerg that 401(k) loans are not debts and the administrator of the 401(k) loan is not a creditor. Ninth Circuit says debtor borrowed money from himself. Internal revenue code and the plan rules are going to govern. If loan payment was more than 90 days in default internal Revenue Code forces the administrator's hand to call it early withdrawal. Debtor obviously did not have a plan that required mandatory payroll withdrawals, which of course do not violate the stay under 363(b)(19). Debtor should have paid 401(k) loan outside the plan.
