The retirement system will make payment of a retirement allowance or refund only as directed by statute or by a QDRO. After the retirement system determines that an order is a QDRO, the retirement system shall make payments to the alternate payee as directed by the QDRO at the time that a member begins receiving a monthly retirement allowance or receives a refund of contributions, unless the retirement system receives a certified copy of an order from a court of competent jurisdiction that withdraws or supersedes the previous order.
