Pensions - Not really Tax related, but...

I didnt know where else to post this. Thought this would be the most educated forum on things like Pensions.

My husband is a UKC and has a stake-holder pension here in the UK from his current job. There's about £2.5k in it that we'd like to stick in a pension or savings acount in the US since we're moving. We dont have intentions at this time of coming back to the UK.

Does anyone have any experience or information with getting a pension from the UK transfered to the US or getting a cheque?

Thanks,
Sarah
