Employee and Employer Contributions
The QDRO must make it clear whether both employee deferrals and employer contributions are subject to division. Many 401(k) plans like the Archway Housing & Services Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust include profit-sharing components contributed by the employer. Whether some of these contributions are vested or not at the time of divorce is important to understand.
If contributions from the employer are not fully vested, the alternate payee may only receive the vested portion under the QDRO. The rest may be forfeited according to plan rules. PeacockQDROs ensures proper language is added to account for this possibility and prevent misinterpretation later.
