a) the Roth IRA holder must be at least age 59 ½ when the distribution occurs
b) Distributed assets limited to $10,000 are used towards the purchase or rebuilding of a first home for the Roth IRA holder or a qualified family member.
c)the distribution occurs after the Roth IRA holder becomes disabled
