1. Matching Contributions and Vesting Schedules
401(k) plans often include matching contributions from the employer, which may not be fully vested. If Posh technologies Inc.. has a vesting schedule (common in corporate plans), unvested amounts may be forfeited upon divorce or employment termination.
The QDRO should specify:
- Whether both vested and unvested amounts are included
- How forfeited amounts are treated if the employee leaves the company
- Whether the alternate payee’s share changes over time
