Employee and Employer Contributions
The Brycetech, LLC 401(k) Plan likely includes both employee salary deferrals and employer contributions. When drafting a QDRO, it’s crucial to specify whether the division will apply to:
- All contributions (employee and employer)
- Only employee contributions
- Only vested employer contributions
Unvested employer contributions usually cannot be divided unless they become vested before the participant’s separation from service. This is something your attorney or QDRO preparer should verify against the plan’s vesting schedule.
