Make sure you fill out the paperwork correctly with the receiving institution's information so the check can deposit correctly. I had to get mine reissued because of a small discrepancy in wording.
SRD'ed in 2019. First check sent to me bounced when I tried to deposit to my IRA account. Had to restart the process again and second check sent to me was fine. About 2 weeks to actually get the check, if I remember correctly.
They told me it would take between 30-60 days. It took mine 56 days from the time I submitted the pension choices form until the check arrived at my financial advisor's office.
I think they said up to 10 days.
how much time transcurred to get the check?
I didn’t have any issues. Requested a check to rollover into my IRA. They sent the check and I deposited it into my IRA account. It was very straightforward.
It took about 6 weeks for my transfer to happen after the rollover process started.
Talk to the bank your rolling it over too. They will handle 90% since they want to house your money and are incentived to do it.
