If you are currently out-of-work, and have been impacted by COVID-19, you may be eligible to request a distribution of
up to $50,000 from the Plan (or your full account balance if less). To meet these requirements, you must:
1. Establish Out-of-Work Status
To request a COVID-19 related distribution under the PSEW 401k Trust, you need to establish that you are currently
out-of-work. This can be done as follows:
I have been laid off and am currently on the IBEW Local 46 out-of-work list. (Out-of-work status
will be confirmed with IBEW Local 46 before any COVID-19 distributions will be approved.)
I am on furlough or stand-by status and not presently working. (Out-of-work status will be
verified with your employer before any COVID-19 distributions will be approved.)

2. Confirm Coronavirus Impact
Distributions available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), receive special tax
treatment. For a COVID-related distribution, you must also certify that any of the following criteria are true:
You, your spouse, or your dependent have been diagnosed with the virus SARS-CoV-2 or with coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) by a test approved by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), or
Due to the coronavirus, you suffered adverse financial consequences because of:
o Being quarantined, furloughed, laid off, or having your work hours reduced, or
o Your inability to work due to lack of childcare, or
o The closing of or reduction of hours with respect to a business you own or operate, or
o Other factors as provided in guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service
Most participants in the PSEW 401(k) Plan who have been laid off, furloughed or are otherwise unemployed after April 1,
2020 will meet the COVID-19 related requirements. To ensure proper tax treatment of your distribution, however, the
IRS requires you to confirm that you have been impacted by COVID-19 related events.
3. Coronavirus-related distributions must be paid out by December 31, 2020. Repayment within 3 Years
Permitted under the CARES Act.
Please make sure you return the form to allow for sufficient time to process your request before the deadline.
Distributions may take 2 4 weeks from the time we receive all of your completed forms. These special CARES Act
distributions can be repaid to the Plan within three years to assist you in replenishing retirement savings and eliminating
or reducing taxes owed.
CARES Act Certification I hereby certify due to the coronavirus or COVID-19 that I meet the criteria as stated above.

This special distribution is taxable but may be included in your income spread out evenly over a three-year period. Unless
you elect otherwise, you will be subject to 10% withholding for federal income taxes, plus any applicable state tax
withholding. The 10% early withdrawal penalty does not apply, and the distribution may not be rolled over directly to an
IRA or retirement plan. This coronavirus-related distribution may be paid back to a retirement plan or IRA in single or
multiple payments within three years.
*A maximum of $100,000 may be distributed to you, counting all distributions from this plan and any other plans or
IRAs in which you participate. It is your responsibility to make sure the total amount of your coronavirus-related
distributions does not exceed $100,000.

NOTE: You may obtain the dollar amount of your account available for withdrawal by contacting John Hancock.
I request a distribution from my available account in the amount of:

amount.
Any amount paid to you will be reduced by applicable taxes.

responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your
withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You should consult your tax advisor for more
information.
NOTE: If no election is made, 10% will automatically be withheld from your distribution for federal income tax,
and the appropriate percentage will be withheld for state income tax (if applicable).

payment is made.
