General Motors Misapplication of QDRO terms

[123456789]

Are you the alternate payee of a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) with a General Motors pension plan participant?

Were you charged an excessive amount (greater than 5% of the base pension being insured) for your survivor benefits?

Were any deductions made to your share of the gross amount due you (in violation of the court order)?

I feel I have been the subject of the above misapplications, I also think I am not the only one. I have found that even though attorneys agree with my assessment, they say it is cost prohibitive to go after GM to correct the situation. The US Department of Labor has said they need to receive multiple complaints before they investigate the situation (as a pattern of abuse). If you feel your pension payments have been adversely affected by the above mentioned applications being misapplied please contact the US Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration office nearest you by using the link below.

Contact the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC).  GM terminated at least one of their plans several years ago, if your benefit is from the plan that was terminated, they may be able to help get it fixed.

I am trying to get in touch with other persons having a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) with General Motors.  I have been told by 3 attorneys that they misapplied the terms of the QDRO, even though the terms seemed very straight forward.  I believe GM does this deliberately and consistently because they know it is not feasible for an individual to take them to court because of the costs involved.  That is why I contacted the US Department of Labor (who has told me they will investigate this as an ERISA violation if they receive more complaints (they will not act on a single complaint). 

I have no idea what StaceyHelton is referring to, her comment has nothing to do with my issue or post.

The GM employee legal assistance group attempted to help my ex-husband cut me from the pension listed in the court order.

I even hired attorneys to get the due pension. They stated someone internal was blocking access. 

President Obama stated he could not help. 

Amazing.
