Employee and Employer Contributions
When dividing the Cfa Pc Plan 401(k) Plan, remember that participants may have both employee contributions (what they deferred from paychecks) and employer contributions (what 320 sycamore street LLC matched or contributed on their behalf). Employer contributions often come with a vesting schedule.
A proper QDRO should specify whether the alternate payee is receiving a share of just the vested balance or if they’re entitled to a portion of both vested and unvested amounts. If the employer contributions are not yet fully vested, the beneficiary spouse may not receive the full expected amount unless vesting occurs before distribution.
