State government pension early withdrawal due to a disability
I was heavily taxed when I cashed out my state pension around 11/2018 as a result of a disability. I had to resign after 22 years of service and then I immediately applied for social security disability. I new the disability process was going to be quite long and tedious so without any other viable option I withdrew my state pension to live on (cover my basic needs such as shelter) until I could get approved for disability benefits. I was approved after an almost 2 year process. I was heavily taxed on my pension as a result of cashing it out to live on until I could get help with disability. I was single with no family I could lean on for any assistance. My question is, can I recoup any or all of those taxes that were taken out of my pension? Thank you, Donald Jay Sudduth.
