Yum! Brands 401k Plan

Withdrawing Money from Your Account

There are three types of withdrawals available through the 401k plan: when you turn age 59½, for hardships and for long term disability.
  • If you are age 59½ or older, you may withdraw* from your account balance for any reason. Age 59½ Withdrawals can be taken as often as twice a year. To initiate an Age 59½ Withdrawal, call the Yum! Brands Savings Center.
  • Hardship Withdrawals** can be taken for any of the following reasons:
    • Purchase of your primary residence;
    • Qualified post-secondary education expenses;
    • Prevention of eviction from or foreclosure on your primary residence.
    • Payment of non-reimbursed medical expenses.
    • Burial or Funeral Expenses for deceased parent(s), spouse, child(ren), or dependent(s); or
    • Repair or damage to your principal residence: Expenses for the repair of damage to your principal residence that would qualify as a deductible casualty expense under federal income tax rules.
    You may create a prefilled Hardship Withdrawal Request from the Loans & Account, Withdrawal section or by calling the Yum! Brands Savings Center at 1-888-875-401K.
  • Long Term Disability Distribution can be taken by any participant with Long Term Disability.
    • Participants on long term disability will be allowed to take 100% of their account balance (excluding money in brokerage).
    • Partial withdrawals will not be allowed.

* Withdrawals from the plan may be subject to 20% federal tax withholding and, if you are younger than age 59½, a 10% early withdrawal penalty will apply. Ordinary income taxes may apply as well.

**Hardship Withdrawals are subject to voluntary withholding, therefore you may request to have the 20% federal taxes withheld or any State and Local taxes at the time of your distribution request.
