    Since you are separated from service you can withdraw any amount of money you want, buth there will be a 20% penalty since you are only 57.  My choice would be to take a hardship withdrawal.  You will have to prove hardship, but that doesn't seem difficult.  If you call the carrier who manages your Plan, they will be able to tell you the qualifying reasons for the hardship withdrawal, and there are no penalties.
