Employee vs. Employer Contributions
401(k) plans typically include:
- Employee contributions: These are fully owned by the employee and are subject to division.
- Employer contributions: These may be subject to vesting schedules. Only vested portions can be split via QDRO.
In the case of the Calyx Technology Inc.. 401(k) Plan, you need to clarify whether your spouse’s employer contributions are fully vested on the date of division. If not, you may only be entitled to the vested portion—or you can ask the QDRO to include future vesting, if the court agrees.
