Employer Contributions and Vesting Issues
Many 401(k) plans—like the Procleaning Solutions Usa, LLC 401(k) Plan —offer employer matching contributions. But those contributions likely follow a vesting schedule. If you’re dividing the account today, some of the employer contributions may not have fully vested. These unvested funds may be forfeited if the employee leaves the company, so your QDRO must specify whether the alternate payee shares in any future vesting.
We often recommend that QDROs only divide the vested portion of the account as of the date of division unless both spouses want to share in the risk of unvested contributions.
