Employee vs. Employer Contributions
401(k) accounts are often a mix of the employee’s own contributions and the employer’s matching contributions. In the case of the Destiny Empowerment House and 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust, it’s important to identify which contributions the employee made personally (and are fully vested) and which were company matches (and may be subject to vesting rules).
If your spouse has only worked at the Unknown sponsor for a short time, they may not be fully vested in the employer’s matching portion—which means some of that money could be forfeited. Your QDRO attorney should request a vesting schedule from the administrator to determine what’s eligible for division.
