From Marriage to Division: QDROs for the Windber Woods Senior Living and Rehabilitation Center 401(k) Plan Explained

When a marriage ends, dividing retirement accounts like the Windber Woods Senior Living and Rehabilitation Center 401(k) Plan can feel overwhelming. These plans typically carry years of savings, some funded by the employee, others by the employer. To divide them legally and fairly, you need a Qualified Domestic Relations Order—or QDRO.

Without a QDRO, the non-employee spouse (called the “alternate payee”) can’t receive their share of the 401(k). Judges may issue divorce decrees, but plan administrators require a properly drafted QDRO to move funds in compliance with IRS and ERISA regulations. At PeacockQDROs, we’ve completed many QDROs from start to finish, including drafting, court filing, and final plan submission—so you don’t have to worry about what happens after the legal wording is done.

• Plan Name: Windber Woods Senior Living and Rehabilitation Center 401(k) Plan
• Sponsor: Community healthcare operator Inc.
• Address: 20250625095756NAL0011335824002 (As of 2024-01-01)
• EIN: Unknown
• Plan Number: Unknown
• Industry: General Business
• Organization Type: Corporation
• Status: Active
• Participants: Unknown
• Assets: Unknown
• Plan Year: Unknown to Unknown
• Effective Date: Unknown

The above information should be included in the QDRO itself or provided to your attorney to ensure proper identification of the plan. Because both the EIN and Plan Number are currently unknown, requesting this information directly from the plan administrator or payroll office is a critical first step.

To begin the QDRO process, make sure you (or your attorney) gather the following information:

• Participant’s most recent account statement
• Summary Plan Description (if available)
• Plan administrator’s name and contact info (usually HR or benefits office of Community healthcare operator Inc.)
• Any plan-specific QDRO procedures (these help with formatting and preapproval)

If you’re unsure where to find these, the participant-spouse can request them directly from Human Resources under ERISA law. It’s also worth noting that plans often have specific formatting or inclusion rules for QDROs—miss those, and you risk rejection.
