Employee and Employer Contributions
Employee contributions are generally 100% vested and available for division. However, employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule. If your spouse is not fully vested at the time of divorce, those unvested funds may not be included in the QDRO division unless specifically accounted for with advanced language or a delayed valuation date.
It’s important the QDRO clearly outlines whether both employee and employer funds should be divided, and whether the alternate payee’s share is calculated from a specific date or accrued amounts, which can greatly affect the final numbers.
