Surviving divorced spouse of Railroad imployee

[Jo. Hastings-Bineault]

I am interested in trying to figure,out. How I can reviews full benefit from my former spouse.  Our divorce decree says that I am in titled to any and all of the survivor benefits

Contact the plan administrator and ask, saying that you need the information for preparation of a domestic relations order in a divorce proceeding.  You may have to to compel disclosure by subpoena or by having the participant request the information.  Action by a deceased participant, which is implied by your title, will be difficult.  If the participant is deceased, and ultimately in any case, you will have to submit a domestic relations order to the plan to receive any benefits.  Ask the plan administrator for the plan's written QDRO procedures.  You should get legal assistance for this, especially if the participant is dead.
