Employee and Employer Contributions
401(k) plans typically include both employee deferrals and employer matching contributions. In a QDRO, you can split either or both. But here’s the catch: many employer contributions are subject to vesting. If they’re not fully vested, the non-employee spouse (called the “Alternate Payee”) may not be entitled to receive the unvested portion.
When dividing the Premiere Childcare Services Retirement Plan, you’ll want to:
- Request a vesting schedule from the plan administrator
- Determine what portion of the account is marital property (some contributions may fall outside the marriage period)
