Employee vs. Employer Contributions
Participant accounts in the Fytertech Nonwovens, LLC 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan likely include both the employee’s direct contributions and employer matching or profit-sharing contributions. Typically, a QDRO divides the full vested account balance as of a specific date, but there are exceptions:
- Employee contributions are fully owned by the participant and available for division.
- Employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule. Only vested amounts can be distributed to the alternate payee (the non-employee spouse).
Be sure to get a current statement showing which portions of the account are vested versus non-vested. Your QDRO should be clear about what’s included.
