Employee vs. Employer Contributions
401(k) accounts generally consist of employee deferrals and employer contributions, such as matching or profit-sharing funds. Each has its own rules for vesting. In divorces involving the Success Beyond Boundaries Enterprises LLC 401(k) Plan, it’s essential to determine whether:
- The participant is fully vested in the employer contributions
- Any unvested amounts are likely to be forfeited or become vested in the near future
- A schedule is in place for vesting, and whether the alternate payee should share in future vested portions
