Alt Payee and automatic rollover?

[AlbanyConsultant]

The plan has an alternate payee who elected to not take his distribution out of the plan at the time of the QDRO. Since then, the plan has increased the cashout limit to $5,000 (with automatic rollovers from $1,001 - $5,000). The AP's balance is <$5,000, so the Trustee wants to pay him out. Everything I see says that the automatic rollover is triggered by the termination of a Participant (with a capital "P"), but does AP fall under that umbrella for this purpose? Thanks.
