Employee and Employer Contributions
401(k) accounts commonly have two main sources of funds: employee contributions (salary deferrals) and employer contributions (matches, bonuses, or profit-sharing). When dividing the Omni Consulting Solutions 401(k) Plan, it’s important that the QDRO specifies how each of these sources should be split.
- Equal Division: If you’re dividing the entire account 50/50, this typically includes both types of contributions.
- Time-Based Division: If only a portion of the marriage occurred during participation in the plan, the QDRO may only assign a share of contributions made during those marital years.
