1. Employee and Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) plans include both employee deferrals and employer matches or profit-sharing. However, employer contributions are often subject to a vesting schedule, which determines how much the employee owns based on years of service.
When drafting a QDRO for the Rf Binder Partners Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan, you should:
- Spell out whether the alternate payee receives only vested funds or a proportional share as contributions continue to vest
- Determine the relevant assignment date (often the date of marriage, separation, or divorce)
