Employee vs. Employer Contributions
The Rogar Manufacturing Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust contains both employee deferrals and possibly employer-matching or profit-sharing contributions. These need to be addressed separately since:
- Employee contributions are usually 100% vested immediately.
- Employer contributions often follow a vesting schedule—which means part of the balance may not be yours to claim in the divorce.
The QDRO must clearly specify whether the alternate payee is entitled to only vested amounts or if non-vested funds should be excluded. Otherwise, the division could be challenged by the plan administrator.
