Dividing Employee and Employer Contributions
401(k) plans like the Jei Logistics Corp. 401(k) Plan typically include both employee contributions and employer matching. While the employee’s contributions are always 100% vested, employer contributions might be subject to a vesting schedule. This means some employer funds may not belong to the employee yet—and won’t be available for division.
Make sure the QDRO specifies whether only vested funds are being divided or all funds accrued during the marriage, regardless of vesting status. Some spouses negotiate for unvested amounts with the understanding they may be forfeited, while others prefer to stick to what’s fully vested.
