A: It depends on what your plan document dictates. It may allow you to transfer the holdings you currently have intact or it may require that all holdings be cashed out and a check for the account value will be sent to the new IRA.

Q: How do I pay myself from my retirement accounts once I have retired?

A: There is no fixed method to use when paying yourself from your retirement accounts. You need to pick the best method for you to manage your cashflow. You can pay yourself monthly,  quarterly, in random lump sums, whatever works for you.
