Charging Fees to an Alternate Payee for QDRO

[Guest yahoo]

Plan may not charge participant nor alternate payee directly for fees associated with determining a valid QDRO. QDRO specifies valid formula for determing value AP's portion of DB plan. Is Plan responsible for the costs and adminstrative burden associated with tracking this portion (actuarial costs, etc.)?

Department of Labor Advisory Opinion 94-32A says that a charge may not be imposed "in connection with *** administration of a QDRO."
