Marriage Settlement Agreement, which was incorporated into the decree in divorce dated July
10, 2002;

RE:DECREE IN DIVORCE IN JERRY A. LATTIG VERSUS JO ANN LATTIG,
CASE NO. 2002-833, ENTERED JULY 10, 2002, RECEIVED JULY 9, 2007.
DEAR MR. LATTIG:
The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) will not honor the above-
referenced court order. To be honored by the TSP, a court order
must qualify under 5 U.S.C. §§ 8435(c), 8467, and 5 C.F.R. part
1653, subpart A.
The court order is not qualifying because we are unable to
compute the payee's entitlement. A court order can describe the
payee's entitlement in terms of a fixed dollar amount, or as a
percentage or fraction of the account as of a particular date.
The court order does not meet this requirement because "Husband
shall initiate the transfer/rollover to Wife of his TSP into an
IRA or other retirement or pension account of her choice." See
page 3 of Marriage Settlement Agreement. In addition, the
Social Security Number of the payee has not been provided.
Please note, the Social Security Number may only be provided by
the payee or the legal representative of either party.
This letter applies only to your civilian TSP account. You may
obtain information about your tither Government retirement
benefits by writing to the Office of Personnel Management, Court
Ordered Benefits Branch, P.O. Box 17, Washington, DC 20044.
This letter is a final administrative action by the TSP.
However, the parties may wish to reformulate the court order,
consistent with the above information. Upon receipt of the
court order, your civilian TSP account was frozen for loans and
withdrawals. That freeze will remain in place for 45 days from
the date of this letter. The 45-day period will be terminated
if both parties submit to the TSP a written request for
termination.
If you have questions, contact the TSP Legal Processing Unit at
the address on the letterhead or call 1-800-371-2365. Callers
outside the United States and Canada should call (404) 233-4400.
Documents pertaining to this case may be faxed anytime to (703)
592-0151. Include your daytime telephone number and your Social
Security number on all correspondence. In addition, the TSP
court order booklet is avdilable from the TSP website
(www.TSP.gov). If you do not have web access, please call or
write to receive a printed copy.
Sincerely,
Pamela-Jeanne Moran, Director
