Employee and Employer Contributions
The Rpm International Inc.. Union 401(k) Trust and Plan likely includes both employee and employer contributions. While employee contributions are fully vested and available for division, employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule. This means your spouse may not be entitled to unvested employer funds depending on when the divorce occurred relative to employment years.
In QDRO drafting, we often specify that only vested balances are subject to division unless otherwise negotiated. You’ll want to request the vesting schedule for this plan—or have us handle it—to avoid dividing funds the participant doesn’t truly own yet.
