A domestic relations order (DRO) is an order or judgment issued by a state court directing the Plan Administrator to pay all or a portion of your benefit under a qualified benefit plan, such as the BP Retirement Accumulation Plan or the BP Employee Savings Plan, to your spouse, former spouse or other eligible dependent. QDROs do not apply to any of BP's non-qualified plan benefits.
If a DRO has been issued relating to your benefits, you must forward all relevant documentation to QDRO Administration Services at BP Retirement Services at Fidelity at 1-877-272-3334. Based on the applicable qualified domestic relations order (QDRO) guidelines, QDRO Administration Services will oversee the process that determines whether the DRO is a QDRO. If the DRO is determined to be qualified, all or a portion of your plan benefits will be subject to the terms of the QDRO.
If you have questions concerning a QDRO or if you would like a copy of the applicable plan QDRO procedures free of charge, contact:
