Loans on the Account
401(k) participants often borrow against their balance. If the participant in your divorce has an outstanding loan in their Gemcraft Homes Inc. 401(k) Plan, it can affect the divisible balance. Here’s how:
- Plan administrators usually subtract the loan from the total account balance before calculating the alternate payee’s share.
- Unless otherwise stated in your divorce or QDRO terms, the alternate payee is not responsible for paying off the loan.
It’s critical that the QDRO specifies how loans will be treated to avoid post-divorce confusion or disputes.
