Employee vs. Employer Contributions
The first question in most QDROs involving the 600 Mountain Avenue, Room 6d-401a is whether the alternate payee receives a share of both the employee’s and employer’s contributions. This usually depends on:
- Whether the contributions were made during the marriage
- Whether the employee was fully or partially vested in employer contributions
If employer contributions aren’t yet vested at the time of divorce, they may not be partially allocated to the alternate payee. The QDRO will need to spell this out clearly.
