You should check your account agreement for specific details, but here is general info.
Money can only be taken out without penalty if you die, if you are totally disabled, or if you qualify for "financial hardship".
Financial hardship is when you need money to pay educational expenses for you or your dependent (only if they are due in the next 12 months), make a down payment on a primary residence, pay medical expenses for you or dependents or to prevent foreclosure or eviction.
Otherwise you will pay the 10% early withdrawal fee.
