Employee and Employer Contributions
In a typical 401(k), the employee defers a portion of their paycheck into the plan, and the employer often matches a percentage of those contributions. When drafting a QDRO for the Montes Medical Group, Inc.. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, it’s crucial to distinguish whether the division includes just the employee contributions, or both employee and employer contributions.
Employer matches may be subject to vesting requirements. If the participant is not fully vested at the time of divorce, it’s essential to spell this out clearly in the QDRO to ensure only the vested portion is divided.
