Employee vs. Employer Contributions
A QDRO can award a share of just the employee’s contributions, just employer contributions, or both. In the Vsolvit LLC 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, employer contributions may include discretionary profit sharing amounts. It’s important to know whether the divorcing employee spouse is fully vested in those employer contributions. If not, the alternate payee can’t receive a share of the unvested portion.
We work with clients to verify vested balances and make sure the order reflects only the assignable amounts. This processing step can prevent conflicts later if unvested funds are mistakenly divided.
