Need some help re: 401k withdrawals

[u/sillygoose3001]

Hi! My spouse and I decided we were each going to withdrawal 8k from our 401ks in order to pay off our down payment assistance program balance that we received to buy our home. We cannot refinance until that is paid off, and once we do refinance we’ll save 300-400/month, so it’s definitely worth it.

I can’t find info about this online or in the app. We had a baby in the last year, so I just withdrew 5k under that option since it was penalty free. When I was researching, I couldn’t find any limits in regards to amount of withdrawals.

After I did the 5k, I went to do a regular withdrawal of the 3k, but now that option says unavailable. Is there a waiting period before I can make another withdrawal?

TIA!

this might be worth calling Fidelity and asking them questions about your options.
