Division in Divorce: QDRO Strategies for the Hanger 24 Craft Brewery LLC 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

The Hanger 24 Craft Brewery LLC 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan is a retirement benefit offered through a general business entity, and it falls under the category of a 401(k) profit-sharing plan. When a couple divorces, this plan—like many retirement benefits—can be divided between spouses using a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO).

But dividing a 401(k) plan through a QDRO isn’t just about drafting a document. It’s about understanding the plan’s features, contribution structure, and vesting schedule so the order is enforceable and fair. At PeacockQDROs, we’ve completed many QDROs and handle the process from start to finish—including drafting, preapproval, court filing, follow-up, and final execution. Here’s everything you need to know about handling a QDRO for this specific retirement plan.

• Plan Name: Hanger 24 Craft Brewery LLC 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
• Sponsor: Hanger 24 craft brewery LLC 401(k) profit sharing plan
• Plan Address: 20250407182851NAL0016743729001, 2024-01-01
• EIN: Unknown (must be requested for QDRO processing)
• Plan Number: Unknown (also required in the QDRO document)
• Industry: General Business
• Organization Type: Business Entity
• Participants: Unknown
• Plan Year: Unknown to Unknown
• Effective Date: Unknown
• Status: Active
• Assets: Unknown

When submitting your QDRO, you’ll need both the EIN and plan number. If you or your attorney don’t already have these from discovery or plan disclosures, they must be obtained directly from the plan sponsor or administrator.

A QDRO allows a divorcing couple to divide retirement assets without triggering early withdrawal penalties or adverse tax consequences. The order must meet the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and IRS requirements, ensuring that the division is lawful and enforceable. The alternate payee—usually the non-employee spouse—receives a separate account or rollover distribution as directed.

This plan, like many 401(k) profit-sharing designs, involves both employer contributions and employee salary deferrals. If you’re divorcing a participant in the plan, here’s what you need to consider when preparing your QDRO:

The QDRO process typically takes several steps:

• Drafting and obtaining signatures
• Submitting for preapproval (if applicable)
• Filing with the court
• Sending to the plan administrator
• Administrator review and final approval

Most plans administered through general business enterprises like this one do not offer preapproval. That’s why having an experienced QDRO attorney prepare the order correctly the first time matters. We cover all of this in our explanation offactors that impact QDRO timelines.

Here are common mistakes we’ve seen when dividing the Hanger 24 Craft Brewery LLC 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan or similar plans:

• Failing to request the plan’s vesting information prior to drafting
