Dividing Employee and Employer Contributions
401(k) accounts typically include both employee contributions (what the participant contributes from their paycheck) and employer contributions (such as matching funds). The QDRO for the Mobis Ev Retirement Plan should clearly state whether the alternate payee is receiving a portion of:
- Just the employee’s contributions
- Employee and employer contributions
- Only vested balances, or all contributions regardless of vesting status
In many cases, only the vested portion of the employer contributions is available to the alternate payee. This is why having current, plan-specific account statements is crucial before drafting the QDRO.
