I read that several times and didn’t see anything from Airbnb about why they are continuing to deny trip insurance claims for refunds for cancellations due to CV-19 purposes - the very insurance that THEY marketed and sold to guests.I guess Airbnb exempts themselves from “extenuating circumstances.”

Alejandra Tapia Borrowing money from your 403(b)
20 March 2020 | 12 replies
I am not sure about 403(b) but 401(k) and 457(b) have the option to let you borrow money out of your account up to $50k or half of your vested account (which ever is less).You usually have a 5 years repayment plan (or sometime 10 years for some very narrow loan purposes).If a loan is offered by your custodian, usually you can get a check in a few days and they may charge a small administrative fee.The interest rate is usually a little bit above prime.The interest paid is going back to your retirement account.Now on the negative side:To get the loan out, you will have to sell some of your retirement asset to get liquidity.During the time of the loan, your retirement account will grow slower as there would be less money in it.If you separate from your employer you will have to repay the balance of the loan immediately.
