1. Employee and Employer Contributions
The Sanko Gosei Technologies Usa, Inc.. 401(k) Plan likely includes both employee deferrals and employer matching or discretionary contributions. When splitting the account, the QDRO must identify how to deal with each component:
- Only contributions made between the date of marriage and the date of separation (or another stated date) are considered marital.
- Some employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule and may not be 100% marital property.
