“EDRO” is a acronym for Eligible Domestic Relations Order. It’s the Michigan version of a QDRO that is used for certain plans covering state and local government employees and retirees. ERISA, which creates the federal statutory basis for QDROs, does not apply to these public sector plans. To provide for the division of state and local government employees’ and retirees’ pensions and retirement accounts in divorce, the Michigan legislature adopted the Eligible Domestic Relations Order Act (1991 PA 46; MCL 38.1701). The requirements for an EDRO and quite similar to but somewhat different from a QDRO. Our website, WWW.QDRO.PRO, refers to QDROs and EDROs. Our standard Request Form can be used to request QDRO(s) and/or EDRO(s).
