If I chose or choose to elect the SRA Plus Social Security Option at the time of retirement, how does this election affect payment to my former spouse?

The SRA Plus Social Security Option allows for a greater benefit to the retiree until age 62 when the benefit is reduced. If the QDRO is silent on the issue, the Alternate Payee will receive the greater amount until the Participant reaches age 62 and will receive the reduced amount thereafter, if this method is actuarially feasible.
