1. Vesting Schedules on Employer Contributions
Like most corporate retirement plans, the Bcp Systems, Inc.. 401(k) Plan likely includes a vesting schedule for employer contributions. This means that if the employee spouse hasn’t yet met certain time requirements, a portion of those employer contributions could be non-transferable or forfeited after divorce.
The QDRO should state whether the alternate payee’s share includes only vested amounts as of the date of divorce or a future date. Be sure to confirm the vesting schedule with the plan administrator.
