Employee vs. Employer Contributions
The total balance in a participant’s 401(k) generally includes both employee deferrals and employer contributions. During divorce, the division often includes:
- Employee Contributions: Typically 100% vested immediately and subject to division based on the portion earned during the marriage.
- Employer Contributions: May be subject to a vesting schedule, and only vested amounts are divisible under a QDRO.
Always verify the vesting schedule with the plan administrator of the Plan De Retiro Y Ahorro Del Huertas Junior College to make sure the correct amounts are included.
