Employee and Employer Contribution Division
401(k) plans typically include both employee contributions (which are always 100% vested) and employer matching or profit-sharing contributions (which may be subject to a vesting schedule). The Premium Velocity Auto, LLC Retirement Plan likely has this same structure.
The division agreement in your divorce should make it clear whether you’re splitting only vested balances or also projected interests in unvested amounts. The plan administrator will limit payments to whatever was vested as of the date of division (or another specified valuation date). Any unvested employer contributions are typically forfeited upon separation from the company.
If we’re handling your QDRO, we’ll help you determine if there’s anything to be gained or lost by waiting to divide the account until more contributions become vested.
