Employee and Employer Contributions
401(k) accounts typically include both employee and employer contributions. In the case of the C Speed, LLC 401(k) Plan, the participant’s contributions are usually 100% vested, but employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule. During the QDRO drafting process, it’s important to clarify:
- Which contributions are considered marital/separate property
- How much of the employer’s matching contributions the participant is actually entitled to
- Whether to divide the account as of a specific date (e.g., date of separation or divorce filing)
