Also, will I be recieving the funds from the company, or will my former employer be sending it to me?

They will process this as soon as administratively poosible. It depends how busy they ae. One month should be a reasoanable time. You need to follow it up.

I just recieved a voicemail from the accounting firm. They said it may be NEXT SPRING until I get my distribution. Even then, it may be a partial distribution. I'm already 100% vested in the balance. (They say they have to see if I'm eligible for a 2010 contribution given that I quit at the end of June.) I don't see how its possible for it to take almost a year or at least 3 quarters for MY money to be given to me.

I think someone there is being lazy to processed the paperwork. it took me 3 weeks to take partail. they will give me a tracking number. because it was send by ups. it you take all the funds. you will be paying a penalty for early withdraw plus percentages for taxes. it be better to take partial if you need the funds. this want it save you for penalty charges. the other fund. hold it there in place. they can't force you to withdraw all of it. hold it there until you find another job that has 401k and rollover into that new 401k job. it free of charge for rollover into a new job with 401k.
