1. Employee and Employer Contributions
Employer contributions in the Jireh Metal Products, Inc.. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan may be subject to a vesting schedule. Only vested amounts can be transferred to the alternate payee through a QDRO. It’s common for employers in general business corporations like this one to offer matching or discretionary contributions with a vesting schedule based on years of service.
If the employee is not fully vested at the time of the divorce or division date, the alternate payee may only be entitled to a portion of the employer contributions—or none at all. That’s why a detailed review of the vesting report is essential before completing the QDRO.
