Shannon,
I have done this several times.
Here are the steps:
Open up a IRA rollover account at a either Entrust Administration (www.iraplus.com) or mid ohio securites(www.midoh.com). Next, notify your old 401k plan administrator that you want to do a rollover NOT A DISTRIBUTION. They will need the name & account number of your rollover acct. Also, if your $6k is invested at the 401k, it helps to liquidate it to cash or money market "before" you do the transfer.In many cases all you need to do is to have the new Trustee handle the rollover for you. They will send you the necessary froms.
