Speaker: Heather Bader, Esq., Partner, Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath
Description: Many policies and procedures exist that affect qualification of domestic relations orders (QDRO), so they should be pretty simple, right? Unfortunately, dealing with state law procedures and federal law requirements, is bound to cause tricky issues (especially in the context of a divorce). This session will provide an overview of which issues plan sponsors and services providers should be particularly aware of and some best practices.
Learning Objectives:
- Summarize the rules for qualifying a domestic relations order and when it becomes "qualified"
- Explain how QDROs should be processed upon receipt of a domestic relations order
- Discuss the most common issues that arise during the qualification process and how to avoid them
