Merck employees may have options for accessing retirement plan funds earlier than expected under specific circumstances. This webinar will explain situations where distributions may be available without the typical early withdrawal penalty and outline how company plans and IRS rules can apply. We’ll review eligibility requirements and common scenarios employees encounter when considering short-term cash needs.

The session will also cover how early distributions can affect long-term planning, taxes, and future income. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of what to review before taking action and how to approach these decisions thoughtfully when timing matters.
