IN DIVORCE
STIPULATION FOR THE ENTRY
OF "DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER"
AND NOW, this 7th day of May, 2003, the parties, Lyn Michele Pfuhl, Plaintiff,
and Herbert Pfuhl, III, Defendant, do hereby Agree and Stipulate as follows:
I. The Defendant, Herbert Pfuhl, 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 statute, is controlled by the State Employees'
Retirement Code, 71 PA C.S. ~~ 5101-5956 ("Retirement Code").
3. Member's date of birth is January 21,1957, and his Social Security
number is 202-48-4526.
4. The Plaintiff, Lyn Michele Pfuhl, (hereinafter referred to as "Alternate
Payee") is the former spouse of Member. Alternate Payee's date of birth is October 29,
1957, and her Social Security number is 164-52-5796.
5. Member's last known mailing address is:
619 Robert Street
Mechanicsburg, P A 17055
6. Alternate Payee's current mailing address is:
591 Geneva Drive
Apartment #1
Mechanicsburg, P A 17055
It is the responsibility of Alternate Payee to keep a current mailing address on file with
SERS at all times.
7. The alternate payee's share (equitable distribution portion) of the marital
property component of the member's retirement benefit is $8,528.89. Alternate Payee is
not to be paid interest on the equitable distribution portion.
8. Member's retirement benefit is defined as all monies paid to or on behalf
of Member by SERS, including any lump sum withdrawals or scheduled or ad hoc
increases, but excluding the disability portion of any disability annuities paid to Member
by SERS as a result of a disability which occurs before the Member's marriage to
Alternate Payee or after the date of the Member and Alternate Payee's final separation.
Member's retirement benefit does not include any deferred compensation benefits paid to
Member by SERS. The equitable distribution portion of the marital property component
of Member's retirement benefit, as set forth in Paragraph Seven (7), shall be payable to
Alternate Payee and shall commence as soon as administratively feasible on or about the
date the Member actually enters pay status and SERS approves a Domestic Relations
Order incorporating this Stipulation and Agreement, whichever is later.
9. Member hereby nominates Alternate Payee as an irrevocable beneficiary
to the extent of Alternate Payee's equitable distribution portion of Member's retirement
benefit for any death benefits payable by SERS. 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 field with the Retirement Board prior to
Member's death.
a. If the last Nomination of Beneficiaries Form field 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: (I) 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 From field 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 property nominated under this paragraph.
10. The Member and Alternate Payee expressly agree that at the time that the
Member files a retirement application with SERS, the Member shall select:
Option 4. A lump sum distribution in an amount greater than or
equal to the total value of Alternate Payee's portion (as set forth in
paragraph 7 of this Stipulation) of the total accumulated deductions
standing to the credit of the Member, as set forth in 71 Pa. C.S. Section
5705(a)(4)(iii), or any succeeding statute.
The Alternate Payee shall be paid her equitable distribution portion out of the
Option 4 lump sum distribution. Member may select any monthly annuity option offered
by SERS under the Retirement Code provided that Alternate Payee is paid her equitable
distribution portion out of the Option 4 lump sum distribution. No portion of the monthly
annuity is to be paid to the Alternate Payee.
II. 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.
12. In the event of the death of Alternate Payee prior to receipt of all of her
payments payable to her from SERS under this Order, any death benefit or retirement
benefit payable to Alternate Payee by SERS shall be paid to Alternate Payee's Estate to
the extent of Alternates Payee's equitable distribution portion of Member's retirement
benefit as set forth in Paragraphs Seven through Nine.
13. In no event shall Alternate Payee have greater benefits or rights other than
those that are available to Member. Alternate Payee is not entitled to any benefit not
otherwise provided by SERS. The Alternate Payee is only entitled to the specific benefits
offered by SERS as 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.
14. It is specifically intended and agreed by the parties hereto that this Order:
(a) Does not require SERS to provide any type 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.
15. The parties intend and agree that the terms of this Stipulation and
Agreement shall be approved, adopted and entered as a Domestic Relations Order.
16. 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.
'.
17. 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 Court.
WHEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound by the terms of this
Stipulation and Agreement, do hereunto place their hands and seals.
