QDRO Requirements and Forms

If a member divorces, any annuity, benefit or accumulated contributions from the Retirement System may be subject to claims by a former spouse under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). A QDRO is a court order providing for:

  • Maintenance
  • Child support
  • Property division

Contributions that have accumulated during the marriage are considered marital assets. Most QDROs result from an agreement between the parties. A former spouse can receive payment from the Retirement System under a QDRO when a member:

  1. Withdraws
  2. Retires
  3. Dies
For retired members, a QDRO in the proper form may become effective immediately, resulting in division of the member's benefit. This law effects members of the three retirement systems and members of local plans, as well as members in special categories.
