What kind of benefits could I expect under a QDRO?

Brittany from Brooklyn, NY asks, "What kind of benefits could I expect under a QDRO?"

Pension Evaluators & QDROS Of Troyan, Inc Associates Group answers, "The amount, type and timing of benefits payable under a QDRO will depend on your individual circumstances and the specifics of the retirement plan and how the QDRO is written. However, there are a few general principles which can give you an idea of the range of possibilities.

  • A plan must be a retirement plan in order to be part of a QDRO.
  • A QDRO cannot change the basic rules of the retirement plan. For example, a QDRO cannot require a plan to increase benefits or require the plan to provide an option not already a part of the plan. The scope of the plan will control the options available to be considered under a QDRO.
  • A QDRO can require your spouse’s retirement plan to assign your spouse’s benefits to you or your dependent child.
  • A QDRO can assign part or all of your spouse’s benefits to you (or to others).
  • The benefits may not be payable until your spouse (ex-spouse) becomes eligible for benefits (i.e., retires or dies)
  • When a QDRO splits a benefit by assigning a portion of it to an alternate [you or your child(ren)] you are treated by the plan as if you were a participant.
  • If you are a spouse or former spouse, your benefit under a QDRO will be taxable even if the payment is being made to you in place of child support (which is otherwise not taxable)
  • If you, as a former spouse, receive a benefit you can defer the tax by rolling the amount over into an individual retirement account (IRA) within 60 days. QDRO Required
  • If the “Alternate Payee” is someone other than the spouse of the plan participant (such as the child of the participant), the participant pays the tax on the payments.
  • Protection for the Participant becoming Disabled is often ignored and can cause serious financial harm if avoided in the QDRO."
