The only exception is if PERS receives a subpoena. Subpoenas should be made out to the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System. The most appropriate staff member will respond. Subpoenas will not be accepted by FAX and PERS requires at least three business days to respond. PERS would prefer to provide written information in response to a subpoena as we have limited staff available to testify in a court setting.
PERS can also provide testimony over the telephone.
ORS 238.465 requires PERS to create rules on how to establish a separate account in the name of the alternate payee. The rules were established in June 1996. A separate account can be established at the time of divorce if so specified in the decree. The court order must specify a percentage or dollar amount, either directly or based on a formula resulting in a percentage or dollar amount, to be awarded to the alternate payee. The court must also provide the date of transfer.
