Employee and Employer Contributions
In most divorce cases, the goal is to divide the marital portion of the 401(k). This includes both:
- Employee Contributions: These are typically 100% vested from day one and are fully divisible.
- Employer Contributions: These might be subject to a vesting schedule. If your spouse hasn’t worked long enough to become fully vested, some employer-funded portions might not be divisible or payable to you.
This distinction is critical, especially in a business-entity plan like the Griswold Home Care, Pgc 401(k) Plan where employment tenure and job type may vary widely.
