QDRO Consultants Co. is the national leader in corporate QDRO qualification and administration. Whether you currently process QDROs in-house or farm them out to a benefits consulting company or law firm, QDRO Consultants Co. is your best choice for handling the “ultimate legal nuisance” of QDROs. However, if you choose to continue processing QDROs in-house, you may be interested in our state-of-the-art QDRO Administration licensing program called QPAS (“QDRO Processing & Administration Software System”).

This ODBC compliant QDRO Processing & Administration System can be retrofitted into almost any network environment. By using our QPAS System, your in-house QDRO staff will be equipped with a “user-friendly” QDRO processing system that will significantly reduce the time and hassles of administering QDROs. The QPAS System also includes a fully integrated “Alternate Payee Database” that will enable your staff to monitor the status of every alternate payee on your system. The database contains all pertinent information for the parties including the substantive provisions contained in the QDRO. The database also automatically monitors the six and eighteen month "freeze" periods that are implemented upon receipt of a draft or certified QDRO. You can also monitor the 30-day ERISA appeal period upon approval of the QDRO.

Do you know the status of all of your old QDRO files? Are your old, previously approved QDROs sitting in a rusty file cabinet awaiting implementation someday? WIth the QPAS System and its built-in Alternate Payee Database, you can scan your old QDRO files and documents into the system for ease of future administration.

Our QPAS System will also reduce the time it takes for your 401(k) recordkeeper and actuary to calculate the alternate payee’s share of the benefits. No longer will they have to reread and reinterpret the QDRO after it’s qualified. Your QPAS System will generate a QDRO-Express Administration Form for use by your recordkeeper and actuary. The Express Form provides them with all pertinent QDRO information in checklist fashion to quickly and accurately perform the necessary calculations of the alternate payee’s benefits. By reducing the time it takes for them to do the necessary calculations, your company should see a dramatic decrease in your third party recordkeeping and actuarial expenses as they apply to QDROs.
