1. Employee vs. Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) plans include both employee deferrals and employer matching or profit-sharing contributions. In the Lucky Clover Packaging LLC 401(k) P/s Plan, it’s likely that employee contributions are 100% vested immediately, but employer contributions often follow a vesting schedule.
A QDRO can only divide vested amounts. So if your spouse’s employer contributions have not fully vested, you may only receive a portion—or none—of those funds. It’s critical to determine the vesting schedule for this plan before drafting the QDRO.
