Does a woman receiving pension benefits from divorce lose them if she remarries?

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010
Buy2flip asked:


The verbage of the Qualified Domestic Relations Order doesn’t mention it one way or another. It just states she is to receive her portion of the pension benefits for her lifetime. Someone told her however that if she remarries, she forfeits those benefits. I thought that was just for alimony?

PeaBee asked:


Thanks for the great info from Russ B and the third responder for the link. I still am wondering if retirees with no other wages except pension checks and SS would qualify for the full amount. IF it all goes thru as currently worded.

When does day one of pension contribution time actually start after joining the US Navy?

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Seeker1898 asked:


Hi all! I’m thinking about enlisting in the US Navy in less than two years from now. When does day one of my pension contribution time actually start after joining the US Navy? Does it start the minute I sign on the dotted line of the contract, before/after boot camp, first day at A or C school, first day of first duty assignment, or at another time? If I go in, which I think I’ll end up doing, I want to get the make sure that every minute towards my military retirement in 20 years counts. I’ll initially go in as an E-3 but after boot camp is over, I was told by a Navy recruiter that I’ll be an E-5 because of my college education. But when I go in less than two years from now, I’ll also have a Master’s degree. Any answers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Canada is awarding me an old age pension of less than $100 a month, qualifying based on US work and residence.

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
Zujiya asked:


Tax authorities assured me that as a US citizen I may continue to receive that amount by reason of a treaty between Canada and U. S. when I move out of Canada to live permanently in another country not the U. S.

As a non-resident would I have to file an income tax return in Canada to report that pension income?
Madpol1…have US retirement benefits, too, thank you, Uncle Sam. Thanks for the input, and for the star!
