Employee and Employer Contributions
The Sfg 401(k) Plan likely includes both employee contributions (made from salary deferrals) and employer contributions (such as matching or profit-sharing). A key consideration is whether the division includes just the marital portion (typically earned during the marriage) or the entire account balance.
Also important—employer contributions often follow a vesting schedule. Only the vested portion of employer funds can be divided via QDRO. If part of the account is unvested at the time of divorce, a properly worded QDRO can allow the alternate payee to receive those amounts if they become vested post-divorce.
