Employee vs. Employer Contributions
In most 401(k) plans, both the employee and the employer contribute. The QDRO should clearly state whether the alternate payee is receiving a portion of:
- Employee contributions only
- Employer matching contributions
- Both
In your QDRO for the Full Potential Solutions, LLC 401(k) Plan, it’s important to know whether the employer contributions are subject to a vesting schedule. If the employee spouse is not fully vested at the time of divorce, some of those funds may not be available to divide.
