Do you have to do a QDRO if your ex-husband is deceased and the court ordered that you get half his retirement. Years ago I started the paperwork for the QDRO because I was granted half his retirement on the day we divorced. The only thing was my husband never finished them. Now he is deceased and I am getting his social security. The social security informed me of my entitlement to his companies pension. I have the paperwork pleading for joinder and summons. Do I still have to do a QDRO????
