If the former spouse of a federal employee who was receiving FERS benefits as part of a divorce settlement dies – are those benefits part of the former spouse’s estate or are they discontinued?

There is no generic answer when it comes to divorce benefits. It is all dependent how the court order reads. Please see the following link, page 45, https://www.opm.gov/retirement-services/publications-forms/pamphlets/ri38-116.pdf = § 838.237 Death of the former spouse.
