If you are in the divorce process, your divorce settlement may affect your pension benefits. Your final divorce decree may require you to assign a portion of your pension benefit to your former spouse.
If this is the case, there are both tax and legal reasons for creating a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), which assigns to your former spouse the right to receive all or a portion of the benefits payable to you under the terms of the plan.
We recommend that you or your attorney download and review the QDRO form on this page and have your QDRO approved by Fidelity. You may submit the form online to be eligible for expedited review and lower cost.
Please note that we cannot provide information regarding your pension benefits to a third party unless you execute the consent form on this page.
If you have any questions about your options or these documents, call the Benefit Services Center at (877) 208-0092.
