I have a shared QDRO where the form of payment for the AP is whatever is chosen by the ptp. Doing the math, if I apply the calculation for the marital portion (50% of the marital portion calculated using a coverture fraction) first and then apply the J&S factor for the chosen form of payment to the two pieces I come up with different figures than if I apply the J&S factor to the whole benefit and THEN apply the marital portion calculation. Which method is correct?
