Unwanted Premature Distribution

1/25/13 I just received my Annual Statement and realized that Legg Mason closed one of their money market funds that I had invested in. They did this on 6/22 and issued a Premature Distribution of $7k to me. I didn't realize they did this. They said that they sent me notices and a check. I do not have a check in hand, and just called Legg Mason and they also show the check not being cashed. Just did a quick bit of online research and learned about the 60-day rollover limit. Am I out of luck? I had no idea about this distribution....

Something doesn't sound right here. What happens in my IRA, stays in my IRA. Funds are bought and sold, as are stocks. Google buys Motorola, the cash stays in the account. A fund getting closed out shouldn't change this, worse case, it should have stayed in the IRA as cash on deposit.

You should call them back and tell them you expect they will correct this. You don't want a new check, you want the money to remain in your IRA.

Do you get monthly statements from them? You should have had the ability to see this issue before now. This might be the only reason they'd have to not accept your request.
