    Ask CNN's Ali Velshi

    Ms.

     

    My husband was out from his job for a year and a half on disability after two heart surgeries. He tried to take out his 401K to pay off the remaining balance on our mortgage -he was close to 60 yrs old. He was told that because the company had listed him as on Leave of Absence he could not access his money and in the interim we lost $40,000 of the savings. Was this legal on their part? Is there any recourse for us? We have now moved the funds to Treasury bills.
