Dividing Employee and Employer Contributions
In most 401(k) QDROs, the alternate payee (usually the non-employee spouse) is awarded a portion of the vested account balance accrued during the marriage. The QDRO can specify either a flat dollar amount or a percentage of the account. With the Sp Holdings, Inc.. 401(k) Plan, it’s important to determine whether the employer makes matching or discretionary contributions—and whether all of those contributions are 100% vested.
Any unvested employer contributions at the time of the QDRO won’t be accessible to the non-employee spouse unless special circumstances apply (e.g., accelerated vesting after termination of employment). Be precise in your language, especially if you’re awarding a portion of the entire vested balance versus only employee contributions.
