Thanks for responding! Just spoke with the wife- apparently they are issuing the proceeds by check (WT....?) Last I knew you could do one such "indirect" rollover from one IRA to another per year without consequences; let's hope it holds true for this as well.
If they issue a check to you, know that they will withhold taxes on it. And you will need to make up the difference in your deposit, or that will be counted as a withdrawal.
Much better to get a direct rollover. Choose an IRA provider, and they can help you with it.
Just to expand for future readers, this depends on what you mean by "a check to you."
If it is a distribution to you personally, i.e. the check is to your name, yes, they will most likely withhold taxes.
However, if it's a check to the new custodian but mailed to you, i.e. check is payable to your IRA at Vanguard but mailed to your home, that is a direct rollover and taxes will not be withheld.
