1. Employee vs. Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) plans include both employee salary deferrals and employer matching or profit-sharing contributions. In your QDRO for the Campbell Supply Company 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust, it’s important to clarify whether you’re dividing:
- All plan balances as of a specific date
- Just the employee contributions
- Only vested portions of employer contributions
Remember, employer contributions may not be fully vested at the time of divorce. If the employee leaves the company, they might lose some of the employer-funded portion. That could significantly impact the alternate payee’s share if the QDRO is not carefully worded.
