Employee and Employer Contributions
The Iris Telehealth 401(k) Plan likely includes both employee deferrals and employer matching or profit-sharing contributions. In a divorce, only vested employer contributions are typically eligible to be divided. Many 401(k) plans operate on multi-year vesting schedules. For example, you may be only 60% vested after three years of service.
It’s important to:
- Request a participant statement showing vested and nonvested balances
- Ensure the QDRO addresses whether the alternate payee receives only the vested amount or a portion of future vesting
