Employee and Employer Contributions
When a couple divorces, both the employee’s own contributions and any employer matches may be divided. However, employer contributions are often subject to vesting—meaning they may not be fully owned by the employee unless they’ve worked with Kurz electric solutions, Inc.. retirement plan for a certain period.
For example, an ex-spouse may be awarded 50% of the entire account as of a certain date, but if a portion of the balance is from unvested employer contributions, that share could be lost once the participant separates from the company. A properly drafted QDRO will specify whether only vested amounts are to be shared or all contributions as of the assignment date.
