How do I know if it is a Rollover, or a Transfer? Most Important question… What type of plan did the funds come from? If funds are from any other type of plan other than a Traditional or Roth IRA, it is ALWAYS a Rollover, regardless of how the check is made out. If funds come from a Traditional or Roth IRA, but the check is made payable to the Member, it is a Rollover. In order for it to be a transfer, the check MUST be made payable to MIDFLORIDA fbo the member. If the funds come from a Traditional or Roth IRA AND the check is made payable to MIDFLORIDA fbo the member’s IRA, it would be a Transfer.
