Under some plans, the Alternate Payee may be designated as the beneficiary of a survivor annuity under a specific benefit option. The benefit option must be specified in the order, otherwise, typically all payments to the Alternate Payee cease upon the Participant's death.
Some plans will only pay a benefit to an Alternate Payee for as long as the Participant is alive. This should be investigated with the plan.Go to: Pension & Divorce Informational Section
If benefits are only payable for the lifetime of the Participant, a life insurance policy may be an appropriate tool to ensure that the Alternate Payee receives benefits for his/her lifetime.
