Employee vs. Employer Contributions
In a plan like the Easy Speech Pathology Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust, it’s important to distinguish between what the employee contributed from their paycheck and what the employer added as a match or profit share. While both types of contributions can be divided via QDRO, only the portion accrued during the marriage is typically considered marital property.
When preparing your QDRO, be sure to:
- Determine the date of marriage and date of separation to calculate the marital share
- Clarify whether employer contributions are subject to a vesting schedule
- Ensure the division includes gains and losses from the date of division to the date of distribution
