Yes, County of Marin was my employer , no attorney obviously, not sure on disability rule for state but being homeless sucks, getting my only source of income “attached” for $1900 per month to pay her from MY disability while she claims she is disabled yet doesn’t have an income from her own failure to apply for it isn’t right. Marin County Board members granted me disability retirement for getting severely injured and now she can come along and just attach it is just criminal. I had to cancel my County health insurance which I can never get back just to survive. At this point I’m not living, just merely existing , miserably. Thanks. Me being Homeless is something I never thought of. But here I am living the dream.

I was granted disability retirement in 2000 by Marin County, Ca. Then married in 2008. And divorced in 2019. The court ordered spousal support be attached by QDRO which I opposed and basically had no choice and they pushed it thru. The order never signed by me, went to administrative person and they approved it without a dollar amount or percentage to be paid or the number of payments or time period to which the order applies which are required. The ERISA specifically spells that out. Did the plan administrator unlawfully qualify this DRO? If so what can I do? They never even sent a joinder in person to my court appearance. Just submitted a letter at the last hour on the last day. I feel like the plan administrator dropped the ball on this and qualified a DRO that did not meet the requirements set forth by ERISA. This has basically made me homeless and is pretty disgusting. Thanks for reading . sincerely, The Shaft
