Employee vs. Employer Contributions
When dividing a 401(k) like the Chg Group, Inc.. Profit Sharing & 401(k) Plan, QDROs often distinguish between employee contributions (typically fully vested) and employer contributions (sometimes subject to a vesting schedule).
If the participant is not fully vested in the employer portion, the alternate payee might receive less than 50% of the full balance. Be sure to obtain the participant’s vesting schedule from the plan administrator to determine the true value allocated in the QDRO.
