Well, ford would not talk to me about anything because we were divorced. Yes, I did ask over the years to have it done, but he insisted he'd just pay me or he would eventually take care of it. Anyway, we had to get the QDRO entered because decree was not what Ford wanted. I really am just asking about the process as it is in Ford's hands now. Was told my amount was being set aside for me, assured this from QDRO department, but then when it went to be paid out, pension said oh, no, they've been underpaying Mr. Gregory. Well, no kidding! The funds were taken, my percentage, upon filing the appropriate paperwork. A QDRO by it's very nature reduces employee's amount to go to the alternate payee. This has all been decided. How can another department say, Oh, looky at the mistake QDRO made? Like, what the heck are they doing. Of course his amount was reduced. That is what the QDRO does. I lost connection so I don't know if you're going to get all my responses. They disappeared so reconnected and typed another response. Please forgive me if you get like three responses

My ex and I divorced 8 years ago. He never would file QDRO paperwork so I, as alternate payee, could receive my portion of benefit set out by law in divorce decree from Ford directly. Instead he pays me every month for 8 years. His benefit is reduced when he reaches 62. Finally he begins the process and files paperwork with Ford. QDRO department tells me my portion is being held aside every month it takes during approval process. They tell me twice that my funds are there for me. It's been a year. Ex stopped paying me when paperwork filed and said my amount was being held aside for me, as QDRO department says. It finally gets to pension department for the payment and they see employee amount has been reduced since 2019 and it shouldn't have been and send check to him. His amount was reduced by virtue of the QDRO process. Why would pension department change what QDRO department set in motion. I believe they got dates mixed up. My amount started accruing for me in Oct 2019 and it's been a year and finally it went through all departments and pension sends MY accrued benefit to my ex...WHAT? It's like the departments do not talk, but to straighten this out, QDRO needs to communicate with Pension. Can anyone PLEASE HELP ME???
