MI HB5682

Amends the definition of "eligible domestic relations order" (EDRO) under Michigan's Eligible Domestic Relations Order Act to change "pursuant to" to "according to" in describing court orders related to domestic relations law.

Requires domestic relations orders to include an attachment containing the social security numbers of both the participant and alternate payee, which must be sent to the retirement system but not filed with the court.

Establishes a 60-day cure period when a retirement system determines a domestic relations order fails to qualify as an EDRO before the participant's retirement allowance effective date, during which the retirement allowance effective date is delayed to allow parties to file an amended order.

Maintains existing requirements that EDROs must specify the amount or percentage of benefits to be paid to alternate payees (spouses, former spouses, children, or dependents) and cannot require benefit types or payment forms not provided by the retirement system.

Clarifies that "postretirement subsidy" includes supplemental annuities, supplemental payments, percentage increases to benefits, and other payments or benefit increases to participants, excluding health benefits.
