19 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
20 SECTION 1. That Section 59-1320, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
21 amended to read as follows:
22 59-1320. APPROVED DOMESTIC RETIREMENT ORDERS -- APPLICATION AND EFFECT.
23 (1) The executive director of the public employee retirement system or his
24 designee upon receipt of a copy of a domestic retirement order, shall deter-
25 mine whether the order is an approved domestic retirement order and shall
26 notify the member and the alternate payee of the determination within ninety
27 (90) days. Orders shall be applied prospectively only from the first day of
28 the month following the order being determined to be an approved domestic
29 retirement order. The retirement system shall then pay benefits or establish a
30 segregated account in accordance with the order. When established, the segre-
31 gated account will consist of accumulated contributions identified in the
32 approved domestic retirement order together with accrued interest on that
33 amount from the effective date to the date of segregation.
34 (2) If the order is determined not to be an approved domestic retirement
35 order, or if no determination is issued within ninety (90) days, the member or
36 the alternate payee named in the order may move the court which issued the
37 order to amend the order so that it will be approved. The court that issued
38 the order or which would otherwise have jurisdiction over the matter has
39 jurisdiction to amend the order so that it will be qualified even though all
40 other matters incident to the action or proceeding have been fully and finally
41 adjudicated.
42 (3) The executive director of the retirement system to which a domestic
43 retirement order is submitted or his designee has exclusive authority to
2
1 determine whether a domestic retirement order is an approved domestic retire-
2 ment order. If it is determined that a domestic retirement order does not meet
3 the requirements for an approved domestic retirement order, both the issuing
4 court and the parties to the order shall be notified so action may be taken to
5 amend the order.
6 (4) Because an approved domestic retirement order cannot cause the
7 retirement system to pay any benefit or any amount of benefit greater than
8 would have been paid had the member's account not been segregated, disputes
9 related to benefits paid under an approved domestic retirement order shall be
10 resolved between the parties to the order by the court issuing that order. The
11 retirement system shall not be made a party to the action. Any cost, including
12 attorney's fees, incurred by the retirement system as a result of such actions
13 shall be distributed by the court among the parties and included in any
14 amended order issued.
15 (5) Unless the approved domestic retirement order specifies differently,
16 if the member has a right to a vested benefit as of the effective date of the
17 order, then both the member and the alternate payee shall have a right to a
18 vested benefit after the transfer of months of service even if the member or
19 the alternate payee has less than sixty (60) months of membership service.
20 (6) For benefits under chapter 13, title 59, Idaho Code, for members
21 other than retired members, if the domestic retirement order awards to the
22 alternate payee a portion of the member's accumulated contributions the alter-
23 nate payee shall be entitled to all the same benefits and rights an inactive
24 member has under chapter 13, title 59, Idaho Code. The alternate payee's bene-
25 fit calculation for a lifetime annuity shall use the member's average monthly
26 salary and base period as of the effective date of the order and the months of
27 credited service transferred to the alternate payee's segregated account. The
28 benefit calculation shall use the alternate payee's age with the appropriate
29 reduction factors based on the alternate payee's age at the time of payment of
30 the lifetime annuity. For the purpose of the lifetime annuity, the bridging
31 factor, as specified in section 59-1355, Idaho Code, shall be the bridging
32 factor between the effective date of the order or the last day of contribu-
33 tions by the member prior to the effective date of the order, whichever is
34 earliest, and the date of the first lifetime annuity payment to the alternate
35 payee. The alternate payee shall have the right to select any of the optional
36 retirement allowances provided in section 59-1351, Idaho Code. The alternate
37 payee shall have the right to name a beneficiary.
38 (7) For benefits defined under chapter 13, title 59, Idaho Code, for
39 retired members, and for benefits under chapter 14, title 72, Idaho Code, the
40 retirement system shall include in the alternate payee's amount or percentage
41 of the benefit, on a proportional basis, all future adjustments, including
42 postretirement increases that are granted by the retirement system, and any
43 death benefit. Furthermore, upon the death of the alternate payee, his/her
44 percentage of the benefit will revert to the person or persons, including the
45 member, who are entitled to the benefit under the system at the time of the
46 alternate payee's death.
47 (8) For benefits under chapter 13, title 59, Idaho Code, for retired mem-
48 bers, the form of payment previously elected by the member under section
49 59-1351, Idaho Code, cannot be changed by a domestic retirement order, except
50 that a member's benefit may be adjusted as provided in section 59-1351(2),
51 Idaho Code, if an alternate payee waives all survivor benefits otherwise pay-
52 able as a contingent annuitant as provided in section 59-1319(1)(e), Idaho
53 Code. Furthermore, no segregated account will be established by the retirement
54 system for the alternate payee. Upon the death of the alternate payee, his/her
55 percentage of the benefit will revert to the person or persons, including the
3
1 member, who are entitled to the benefit under the system at the time of the
2 alternate payee's death.
3 (9) For benefits defined under chapter 14, title 72, Idaho Code, the ben-
4 efit paid transferred to the alternate payee shall start when the retirement
5 system begins paying benefits to the member, surviving spouse, or surviving
6 children of the member. Unless otherwise ordered, in the event the member dies
7 and leaves a surviving spouse, during the surviving spouse's lifetime, the
8 alternate payee shall be paid his/her designated amount or percentage of the
9 benefit. Unless otherwise ordered, if there is no surviving spouse or the sur-
10 viving spouse dies and there is a surviving child or children of the member
11 who are under eighteen (18) years of age and unmarried, then the alternate
12 payee shall be paid his/her designated amount or percentage of the benefit
13 until the child or children reach the age of eighteen (18) years or marries,
14 whichever occurs first The transferred benefit shall be payable only for the
15 lifetime of the alternate payee and it shall not revert to the member, surviv-
16 ing spouse or surviving children of the member.
17 (10) The retirement system shall be authorized to issue any and all appro-
18 priate tax forms or reports for any payments made to the alternate payee.
19 (11) The retirement system, the retirement board, and officers and employ-
20 ees of the retirement system shall not be liable to any person for making pay-
21 ments of any benefits in accordance with an approved domestic retirement
22 order.
23 SECTION 2. That Section 72-1422, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
24 amended to read as follows:
25 72-1422. BENEFITS EXEMPT FROM EXECUTION -- NOT ASSIGNABLE. No benefits or
26 payments payable under the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to exe-
27 cution, nor assignable, nor shall the same be hypothecated or in any manner
28 encumbered, except as ordered by a court to be transferred to an alternate
29 payee in an approved domestic retirement order, as provided in sections
30 59-1319 and 59-1320, Idaho Code.
31 SECTION 3. That Section 72-1461, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
32 amended to read as follows:

34 FIREFIGHTER KILLED IN PERFORMANCE OF DUTY. (1) In the event a paid firefighter
35 is killed or sustains injury from which death results, while in the perfor-
36 mance of duty and leaves surviving a spouse or a spouse with the firefighter's
37 surviving child or children, the spouse, during his or her lifetime, shall be
38 paid from the public employee retirement account the same pension the deceased
39 firefighter would have been entitled to had the deceased firefighter retired
40 as of the date of death, but in no event less than a monthly sum equal to: (a)
41 sixty-five percent (65%) of the average paid firefighter's salary or wage in
42 this state, if the deceased firefighter was an Option I firefighter, less any
43 portion of the benefit transferred to an alternate payee as provided in sec-
44 tions 59-1319 and 59-1320, Idaho Code; or, (b) sixty-five percent (65%) of the
45 deceased firefighter's average monthly salary or wage, based on his average
46 final compensation, if the deceased firefighter was an Option II firefighter,
47 less any portion of the benefit transferred to an alternate payee as provided
48 in sections 59-1319 and 59-1320, Idaho Code. If the surviving spouse should
49 die, the full retirement pay shall be paid to the firefighter's surviving
50 child or children until they reach the age of eighteen (18) years or shall
51 marry, whichever occurs first; provided, however, that if said deceased fire-
4
1 fighter shall have died without leaving a surviving spouse and leaving surviv-
2 ing a child or children, said firefighter's surviving child or children shall
3 be entitled to be paid from the public employee retirement account the same
4 pension the deceased firefighter would have been entitled to had the deceased
5 firefighter retired as of the date of death, less any portion of the benefit

14 to July 1, 1978, shall continue under the provisions of this chapter in effect
15 at the time such benefit payment was ordered.
16 (4) Eligibility for benefits of surviving spouses that was terminated on
17 or after July 1, 1987, solely because of the spouse's remarriage is hereby
18 reinstated effective July 1, 1992. Such spouses are entitled to have the bene-
19 fits, including any cost of living allowances approved by the board effective

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 15499
In 1998, provisions governing the procedure for dividing retirement
benefits under the Firemen's Retirement Fund (FRF) in the event of
divorce were modified to require the use of approved domestic retirement
orders (ADROs). That procedure did not permit any change to the
statutory benefit when it was divided; it provided only that the existing
benefit could be divided.
The FRF provides a statutory survivor benefit for a surviving
spouse or minor children, and provides that all benefits end upon the
later of the death of the member or surviving spouse, or the majority of
a minor child. Because of this benefit structure, it is currently
possible that an alternate payee's benefit can end before they die,
potentially leaving them without any benefit for the remainder of their
life.
This bill would amend section 59-1320 Idaho Code, to provide that
any benefit transferred to the alternate payee would be converted into a
lifetime annuity for the alternate payee and that no benefit would revert
to the member, the surviving spouse or the surviving children of the
member. This amendment effectively changes the FRF benefit structure
without increasing actuarial costs.
This bill also clarifies that the effect of transferring benefits
to an alternate payee under the FRF plan is to reduce the benefits
otherwise payable to the member, the surviving spouse, or the surviving
children of the member.
FISCAL NOTE
The actuary has determined there is no cost to this amendment.
