Employee and Employer Contribution Divisions
When dividing these accounts, make sure your QDRO clearly states what portions of the account are to be divided:
- Employee Contributions: Generally treated as marital property and easily divided.
- Employer Contributions: May be subject to a vesting schedule. Only the vested portion can be divided in a QDRO.
If the QDRO incorrectly attempts to award the alternate payee a portion of non-vested amounts, it may be denied or recalculated by the administrator.
