401k 55 rule @ 56?

i was let go recently at 56.  Was told that i can not withdraw my 401k without a 10% penalty because i am 56.

That sounds insane.

55 or 59 ONLY?

 

Please someone help.

 

Thanks,

Rob

Exception to the 10% early distribution penalty from a 401(k) - https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc558

 

  • Distributions made to you after you separated from service with your employer after attainment of age 55.

401k 55 rule @ 56?

You are exempt from the penalty if you separate from service in the year you turn 55 or after
