ERISA anti-alienation

[Ian]

Does ERISA anti-alienation still apply once funds are distributed out of the plan? I found an article from 2014 indicating that seven federal Courts of Appeal had ruled that anti-alienation does not apply and one has ruled that it does. Is that still the state of the law, or has something changed since them?

Thanks for any help.

If you have access to the Erisa Outline Book, see Chapter 3b, Section XI, Part C. (Page 3b.735)

I'm sorry, I don't have access to that book. If you could summarize, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks so much!

Was the money rolled to an IRA or just left out and about?

Assume they are monthly payments.
