Traditional vs. Roth Contributions
The Mccormick Sand 401(k) Plan may include both pre-tax (traditional) and after-tax (Roth) contributions. It’s crucial your QDRO separates these correctly. If the participant has both types of funds, the alternate payee (usually the ex-spouse) should be allocated amounts proportionally—or specifically, if that’s what the parties agree to.
Failing to distinguish these two types of accounts in your QDRO can delay processing and create tax implications for both parties. Make sure the order addresses how traditional and Roth contributions should be divided.
