Employee vs. Employer Contributions
Employee contributions to 401(k)s are usually 100% vested immediately. However, employer contributions often follow a vesting schedule. This means that if the employee hasn’t worked at Milea truck sales Corp.. 401(k) plan long enough, some of the employer’s contributions may not be included in the divisible amount.
When drafting a QDRO, you should determine:
- What portion of the account balance is fully vested?
- Should the alternate payee receive a share of only the vested portion?
- What happens to unvested amounts that may later vest post-divorce?
