Other Important Plan Information

Restrictions on Payments

Your Plan benefits are intended to provide retirement income to you and your beneficiary. You or your beneficiary cannot assign, transfer, or pledge the benefits payable to you to another person. However, your Plan Account can be paid according to a QDRO.

Key Term
A QDRO is an order from a state court that meets certain legal specifications and directs the Plan Administrator to pay all or a portion of a participant’s Plan benefits to a Spouse, former Spouse, child or other dependent. A QDRO is issued pursuant to a divorce or marital separation.


You will be notified if an attempt is made to assign all or a portion of your Plan Account through a QDRO. In addition, your Plan Account will be charged a processing fee of $300 per standard web-generated order, $1,200 per modified web-generated or custom order or $1,800 per order covering multiple retirement plans, including the Plan, for any QDRO.

For more information or for a copy of the procedures governing QDROs (provided at no charge), please visit www.netbenefits.com or call Fidelity at 1-800-835-5095.

In addition, if you commit a crime against the Plan or you breach a fiduciary duty to the Plan, a court may order, or a legal settlement between you and a government agency may provide, that all or a portion of your Plan Account will be paid to the Plan.
