Employee and Employer Contributions
The Jurupa Hills Country Club LLC 401(k) Plan likely includes both employee salary deferrals and employer-match contributions. A QDRO can award all or a portion of the account accrued during the marriage to the non-employee spouse (also known as the “Alternate Payee”).
The order should clearly state whether it applies to:
- Only the employee’s contributions
- Employer contributions that are vested as of a specific date
- Total account balance as of a precise valuation date
To prevent disputes, include a valuation date (e.g., date of separation, filing, or divorce judgment) and whether investment gains or losses after that date are included.
