Arthur,

Thanks so much. I'll check with the company where I have the IRA.

The claim form should be in the name of the IRA, so the check will
also be in that name.

The IRA custodian should be told to deposit that check to the IRA
and code the deposit as a dividend or other earnings, and not as
a contribution.

As a result of a class action suit, people who bought/sold shares of
Tyco between December 13, 1999 through and including June 7, 2002 may be
eligible for a cash settlement payment. See www.tycoclasssettlement.com.

What are the tax consequences if I, age 66 and retired, receive a cash
payment because of Tyco transactions within a traditional IRA? Would
the settlement be treated as an IRA withdrawal? Could/should the
settlement amount be placed into the IRA?

What are the tax consequences if I receive a payment because of
transactions in a regular (i.e. non IRA, non tax deferred) account?

I am wondering whether filing a claim will be more trouble than it is worth.
