Greenmeyer v. Greenmeyer
Annotate this CaseSandra Greenmeyer and Jacob Greenmeyer divorced in 1994. The divorce decree awarded Sandra a portion of Jacob’s railroad retirement benefits. Jacob retired in 2009 and began receiving his retirement benefits. In 2013, Sandra began receiving retirement benefits. In 2014, Sandra filed a motion seeking an order requiring Jacob to pay to her the retirement benefits awarded in the divorce decree that he had been receiving. The district court granted the motion and ordered Jacob to pay Sandra a total of $33,320. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court’s order did not conflict with the Railroad Retirement Board’s regulations; and (2) because the divorce decree awarded certain retirement benefits to Sandra, she was entitled to recover her property from Jacob.
