Employee and Employer Contributions
In a standard 401(k), the employee defers a portion of their salary and often receives matching or discretionary contributions from the employer. The First Central Savings Bank 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust likely includes both, and they must be identified separately in the QDRO.
Only the marital or community portion of the employee’s contributions will typically be divided. Similarly, employer contributions may be partially or fully considered—depending on whether they are vested and accrued during the marriage. It’s important to specify whether the alternate payee (the spouse receiving a share) will receive only the community portion or a percentage of the total account as of the division date.
