Employee and Employer Contributions
401(k) accounts usually include both employee and employer contributions. In a divorce, the QDRO can award a percentage or specific dollar amount of the account’s balance as of a set date. However, employer contributions often come with a vesting schedule. Only vested amounts can be awarded to a former spouse. This is especially important in plans like the Sky Heart Home Care Services 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust, where the plan documents are not publicly accessible and vesting rules must be confirmed.
