Employee and Employer Contributions
In most 401(k) plans, the employee contributes pre-tax or Roth dollars into the account, while the employer makes matching or profit-sharing contributions. A common mistake during QDRO drafting is failing to clearly differentiate between those sources. If your spouse is the participant in the Rancho Grande Cantina, Inc.. 401(k) Plan, you’ll want to make sure the QDRO specifies whether your share includes just the employee contributions or also any vested employer contributions.
