Re: IRA Rollover
Others can quote you chapter and verse on this, but I will share my limited experience.
After I left my last job, I decided I wanted to roll my 401k to a rollover IRA at Vanguard. So I called Vanguard, they sent me the papers, I filled them out and they took care of the rest, such as issuing a letter of direction to the custodian of my 401k, setting up the new account etc. It was very easy and the money went directly from the 401k to the rollover IRA, so I did not need to worry about the taxes. I didn't do this until after I left my old job. It is, however, a good idea to find out before you leave who at your current employer is the contact person for 401k issues. So my recommendation is to call Vanguard.
