You won't have to pay the tax on these amounts if all of the following conditions
apply.
• You lost your job.
• You received unemployment compensation paid under any federal or state law for 12 consecutive weeks because you lost your job.
• You receive the distributions during either the year you received the unemployment compensation or the following year.
• You receive the distributions no later than 60 days after you have been reemployed.
"Lost your job" means that the employer considers you to have separated from service (are no longer an employee).
