Section 2202 of the Coronavirus Stimulus Bill allows for penalty-free withdrawals of up to $100,000 from 401(k) retirement accounts. Typically, if you wanted to withdraw money from a 401(k) retirement account prior to the age of 59 1/2 a 10% penalty would be due. Section 2202 now eliminates the penalty.
Besides the temporary elimination of the penalty you can prevent the payment of income taxes on the withdrawn amount so long as you return the money to your 401(k) account within 3 years.
Section 2202 is available to anyone who needs a “coronavirus related distribution” or is experiencing “adverse financial consequences” because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Section 2202 makes it easier to borrow money from your 401(k) by increasing the limit from $50,000 to $100,000. It also extends the payment date for any 401(k) loans due in 2020 for up to one year.
Section 2203 waives the rules for retirees who are required to withdraw money from tax-deferred accounts and who are required to pay taxes on the withdrawals in 2020.

Coronavirus is a Natural Disaster of Immense Proportions that Impacts Real Estate - Latest News - 3-24-2020
In the past 3 months COVID-19 aka the coronavirus pandemic has upended all beliefs regarding the speed in which fear can grip the world. Coronavirus is a natural health and economic disaster of immense proportions.
The impact of the coronavirus pandemic upon real estate will be felt for years to come.
First. The negative economic effects of the coronavirus has caused the Federal Reserve to use every available policy tool in its arsenal including the lowering of interests rates close to zero. The U.S. Government is poised to pass an almost 2 trillion dollar stimulus package to save the economy. However, the question remains: Will all of the monetary and stimulus actions be enough?

Third. The stock market has fallen to levels not seen since the Great Recession. China's supply chain is frozen. Businesses and corporations are experiencing cash flow and debt problems. The lack of cash flow will lead to job losses. Citizens are nervous about their families and resources so they are beginning to "hoard". Citizens are nervous about health care and job security. The recent branding of the phrase "social distancing" as a means to prevent the spread of coronavirus requires citizens to stay away from crowed places and mass events. It also requires keeping a distance (6 ") between you and your neighbor. Yet if people are not out and about, socializing, travelling and spending money then the economy slows down. Less economic activity means less money for real estate development and investment.
