Employee vs. Employer Contributions
The Therapyland 401(k) Plan may include both employee deferrals and employer matching contributions. A QDRO can award a portion of just the employee contributions, both, or any other share agreed upon in the divorce. It’s important to distinguish:
- Employee Contributions: Fully owned by the employee and usually 100% vested.
- Employer Contributions: Often subject to a vesting schedule, meaning some amounts may not be transferable if not vested at the date of division.
