(1) Who may use this section? You may use this section if you were a member of PERS Plan 2, SERS Plan 2, or TRS Plan 2 and first obtained a property division dissolution order using the language in RCW 41.50.670(2) and WAC 415-02-510 or 415-02-520, and then transfer to Plan 3.1

(2) What happens if the property division dissolution order (using the language in RCW 41.50.670(2) and WAC 415-02-510) did not split my account? Refer to WAC 415-02-530 for information about your defined benefit account and about your and your ex-spouse's defined contribution accounts after you transfer to Plan 3.

(3) What happens if the property dissolution order used the language in WAC 415-02-520 and did split my account?
