Pension, Divorce and the Defined Contribution Plan
 Information Provided by: Pension Appraisers, Inc.Key Points
This is a private tax deferred savings plan set up by a company or individual that will provide an income to a participant upon retirement:
Examples: Any Thrift Savings Plan, Profit Sharing Plan, Employee Stock Ownership Plan sponsored by a company, or John Doe IRA Account #123456 Benefits may be distributed in a lump-sum payment to the Alternate Payee immediately following qualification of the Order, when the Participant actually retires or at any other time as permitted by the plan.
Some Key Facts to Remember:
Once the plan distributes the lump sum payment to the Alternate Payee, the Alternate Payee must roll over the money into an IRA Account or another similar entity or he/she could be assessed a significant penalty. (Could be 20% or more!)
