Employee and Employer Contributions
The Superior National Bank 401(k) & Profit Sharing Plan is likely to include traditional employee deferrals and employer contributions as part of its profit sharing component. Only the participant’s vested balance will be available for division. This is especially important in corporate-sponsored plans like this one, which often have complex matching and profit sharing formulas.
Be sure the QDRO clearly outlines what portion of the vested balance is to be awarded to the alternate payee. Some court orders fail to distinguish between vested and non-vested amounts, which can create confusion later in the approval process.
