follows:
1. The Defendant, John I. Detweiler, III (hereinafter referred to as "Member"), is a
member of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State Employees' Retirement System (hereinafter
referred to as "SERS").
2. SERS, as a creature of statue, is controlled by the State Employees' Retirement Code,
71 Pa. C.S. §§5101-5956 ("Retirement Code").
3. Member's date of birth and Social Security number are contained in the attached
Addendum.
4. The Plaintiff, Joyce A. Detweiler (hereinafter referred to as "Alternate Payee"), is the
former spouse of Member. Alternate Payee's date of birth and Social Security number are
contained in the attached Addendum.
5. Member's last known mailing address is:
501 Darla Road
Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
6. Alternate Payee's current mailing address is:

Camp Hill, PA 17011-1263
DRO
Page 2
It is the responsibility of the Alternate Payee to keep a current mailing address on file
with SERS at all times.
7. The Alternate Payee is entitled to a portion of the Member's benefits under the Plan as
set forth below. The Plan is hereby directed to pay Alternate Payee's share directly to Alternate
Payee.
8. The Member is currently receiving a monthly annuity for his lifetime pursuant to the
terms of a Maximum Single Life Annuity ("MSLA"). Member's retirement options are final,
binding, and irrevocable. Should Member return to State service, Member and Alternate Payee
understand and acknowledge that payments to both Member and Alternate Payee shall be
suspended for the duration of Member's subsequent State service. SERS shall not be required to
make payments to Alternate Payee during any period in which Member is engaged in active State
service subsequent to the approval of this Stipulation and Agreement. Member and Alternate
Payee further understand that upon Member's re-retirement after a period of State service
subsequent to his first retirement, SERS will not make retroactive benefit payments to Member,
Alternate Payee, or any other person for any period in which Member was engaged in active State
service subsequent to his first retirement.
9. The Alternate Payee's share of Member's retirement benefit is $432.00 of the Member's
gross MSLA payment, together with 10.83% of any death benefit payable in the event the Member
dies before receiving annuity payments totaling his accumulated deductions at retirement. The
Alternate Payee shall receive a pro rata share of any scheduled or ad hoc increase that is applied
to Member's gross monthly annuity.
10. Payments to the Alternate Payee shall commence as soon as administratively feasible
on or about the date SERS approves the Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation
and Agreement.
11. The share of Member's retirement benefit payable to Alternate Payee pursuant to this
Stipulation and Agreement shall be deducted from the Member's monthly annuity payments
and/or death benefit payment by SERS and paid to the Alternate Payee.
DRO
Page 3
12. Member hereby nominates Alternate Payee as an irrevocable beneficiary to the extent
of Alternate Payee's share of Member's retirement benefit, which pursuant to Paragraph 9
includes 10.83% of any death benefit payable under the MSLA. This nomination shall become
effective upon approval by the Secretary of the Retirement Board, or his authorized
representative, of any Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement.
The balance of any death benefit remaining after the allocation of Alternate Payee's equitable
distribution portion ("Balance") shall be paid to the beneficiaries named by Member on the last
Nomination of Beneficiaries Form filed with the Retirement Board prior to Member's death.
(a) If the last Nomination of Beneficiaries Form filed by Member prior to Member's
death (a) predates any approved Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation and
Agreement, and (b) names Alternate Payee as a beneficiary, then: (1) the terms of the Domestic
Relations Order shall alone govern Alternate Payee's share of any death benefit, and (2) for
purposes of paying the Balance via the last Nomination of Beneficiaries Form filed with the
Retirement Board prior to Member's death, Alternate Payee shall be treated as if Alternate Payee
predeceased Member. No portion of the Balance shall be payable to Alternate Payee's estate.
(b) In addition, Member shall execute and deliver to Alternate Payee an
authorization, in a form acceptable to SERS, which will authorize SERS to release to Alternate
Payee all relevant information concerning Member's retirement account. Alternate Payee shall
deliver the authorization to SERS which will allow the Alternate Payee to check that she has been
and continues to be named as beneficiary for 10.83% of any death benefit.
13. If the Alternate Payee dies before the Member, the Alternate Payee's share of the
member's pension and any death benefit payable shall be paid to her estate.
14. Alternate Payee may not exercise any right, privilege or option offered by SERS. SERS
shall issue individual tax forms to Member and Alternate Payee for amounts paid to each.
15. In no event shall Alternate Payee have greater benefits or rights other than those
which are available to Member. Alternate Payee is not entitled to any benefits not otherwise
provided by SERS. The Alternate Payee is only entitled to the specific benefits offered by SERS as
DRO
Page 4
provided in this Order. All other rights, privileges and options offered by SERS not granted to
Alternate Payee by this Order are preserved for Member.
16. It is specifically intended and agreed by the parties hereto that this Order:
(a) Does not require SERS to provide any type or form of benefit, or any option not
otherwise provided under the Retirement Code;
(b) Does not require SERS to provide increased benefits (determined on the basis of
actuarial value) unless increased benefits are paid to Member based upon cost of living or
increases based on other than actuarial values.
17. The parties intend and agree that the terms of this Stipulation and Agreement shall be
approved, adopted and entered as a Domestic Relations Order.
18. The Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, shall retain
jurisdiction to amend any Domestic Relations Order incorporating this Stipulation and
Agreement, but only for the purpose of establishing it or maintaining it as a Domestic Relations
Order; provided, however, that no such amendment shall require SERS to provide any type or
form of benefit, or any option not otherwise provided by SERS, and further provided that no such
amendment or right of the Court to so amend will invalidate this existing Order.
19. Upon entry as a Domestic Relations Order, a certified copy of the Domestic Relations
Order and this Stipulation and Agreement and any attendant documents shall be served upon
SERS immediately. The Domestic Relations Order shall take effect immediately upon SERS
approval and SERS approval of any attendant documents and then shall remain in effect until
further Order of the Court.
