Employee and Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) accounts contain both employee deferrals and employer matching or profit-sharing contributions. In a divorce, it’s important to clarify whether the division only affects contributions made during the marriage or the total current balance.
For the Soledad Enrichment Action Retirement Plan, either approach could apply—but your QDRO must clearly spell it out. Some QDROs will assign a percentage or fixed dollar amount as of a specific date (usually the date of separation or divorce). Others divide the entire balance regardless of when contributions were made.
