Maddie from Plainfield, IL asks, "What should the ex-spouse of a military person do to receive the
court-ordered military retirement pay?"
Pension Evaluators & QDROS Of Troyan, Inc Associates Group answers, "The ex-spouse can be paid either directly by the Defense Finance
and Accounting Service (DFAS) or directly by the military member depending
on how many years the marriage lasted and how many years the military
member served in active duty. If you were married for at least 10 years
during which the military member performed at least 10 years of active
duty service, the ex-spouse can receive
direct payments from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS). Within
90 days after the court issues an order, the ex-spouse needs to submit
a copy of the certified court order to DFAS, along with a completed Application
for Former Spouse Payments from Retired Pay,
DD Form 2293. Instructions for completing and mailing are found on the back of the
DD Form 2293. If you weren’t married for at least 10 years during
which the military member performed at least 10 years of active duty service,
you can still get a percentage of the military retirement pay if the court
orders it. The payments will have to come directly from the service member,
however, and will not come directly from DFAS."
