Many attorneys include signature lines at the end of the QDRO so that the plan administrator can approve and sign off on the order. If you want to expedite the approval process, eliminate this signature line. Generally, plan administrators will not sign a QDRO because they are not required to do so under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code. Many plan administrators will deny a QDRO simply on this basis. They are required to abide by the terms of the QDRO and must furnish a written response indicating the qualified status of the QDRO. This response should sufficiently verify the QDRO’s qualified status.
