Why are you trying to cash out your 401k?

I need money for bills/groceries, I’m pretty sure since I’m now “terminated” from that job I lose the money?

It depends on if your employer was contributing and, if so, whether or not that money was vested before you left

The 401K is yours. You can roll it into another 401K with a new employer or into a personally managed IRA.
Just realize that if you cash it out there is an automatic 10% penalty and then it will be subject to income tax next year.

So should I do personally managed IRA then? We’re not closing by March

It's up to you. If you think you'll have a new job in the next few months, you can just wait and roll over.

I don’t think I will tbh. We’re not closing until April and I’d honeslty like to take some time off cause of my back
