This book will focus on the rights each spouse has under certain laws, situations, and circumstances, and how the division of the property will be decided by the court or through negotiation.
Unlike ERISA plans, the rights of the member’s spouse are entirely derivative of the member’s rights. To that end, the member’s spouse may not elect beneficiaries, choose benefits, and so forth. Additionally, the DRO must require the Member to execute a release authorizing the alternate payee to access the information SERS maintains on the member, so that the member’s compliance with the terms of the DRO may be monitored
----------------------- so it appears my spouse cannot choose her beneficiary at all!!! anyone ever hear of this? And I actually get to choose how my benefits are paid out according to that paragraph. So in theory, i guess i could let her choose her beneficiary in exchange for taking less alimony or equity from the home, if i'm reading this right
if you are interested in the retirement language here's a link
