Employee and Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) plans include contributions by both the employee and the employer. When dividing the Classic Air Care 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, both types of contributions may be subject to division—but it depends on timing and the vesting schedule.
For example:
- Employee contributions are always 100% vested and divisible.
- Employer profit sharing or matching contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule. Anything not vested at the time of divorce typically can’t be awarded in the QDRO.
Before drafting the QDRO, verify which employer contributions are vested and which are still pending.
