Employee and Employer Contributions
In many divorces, the QDRO awards a percentage or fixed dollar amount of the account accumulated during the marriage. With the Carolina Hosiery Mills 401(k) Plan, be sure to define whether you’re dividing only the participant’s contributions or both employee and employer contributions.
Employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule. If the employee is not fully vested at the time of divorce, part of the account may not be available for distribution to the alternate payee now—or ever.
