Employee and Employer Contributions
These plans often include both employee deferrals and employer contributions. Only portions that are vested can be divided in a QDRO. An understanding of the participant’s vesting schedule is essential to determine what the alternate payee is actually entitled to receive.
In the case of unvested amounts, the alternate payee may receive nothing if the participant hasn’t met certain service requirements. Our team makes sure to review this with the plan administrator to avoid overpromising in your QDRO.
