I am looking  for a format or wording I can use to help comply with IRS requirements when an employee requests a withdrawal from the 401k plan for “hardship” . 
•    I am required to “certify the above information is true and correct”.  (The information completed on the form by the employee and evidence of qualifying hardship.)

Does anyone have a document or wording that may help me construct a document?

Dan,

There are only 4 or 5 hardships thay qualify for hardship withdraw. All of these can be easily verified by having the employee bring proof via an invoice,  paid receipt etc. We accept these documents as proof and require no additional verification. We keep the document in their personnel file should there evr be a question.  We do not feel it is our responsibility to go any further to verify the hardship. The tax penalty would fall to the employee shoud they be found to have misrepresented the hardship.
