My IRA is with Dreyfus. Six months ago I received a notice that only a certain dollar amount in MM was secure, iow, anything I had in MM above that number could be lost to me.

I turn 59 early this year. The date that I turn 59.5 I liquidate my IRA entirely.

I wish I could liquidate my 401k, but I am nowhere near 59.5

MM funds never were intended to carry a guarantee. The Treasury announced that it would begin a temporary one in order to put an end to the panic that was developing after the Reserve Fund broke the buck.

You might want to talk to a CPA before you liquidate your IRA, you’re liable to incur some tax consequences.

Talk to your CPA - you won't have to pay the early withdrawal penalty, but what you withdraw will be counted as income...
