Vesting Schedules and Forfeitures
401(k) plans often include employer contributions that are subject to vesting schedules. If contributions from the employer will not fully vest until certain years of service are completed, any unvested funds may be forfeited upon separation from the company. It’s important that your QDRO addresses how forfeitures will be handled—will the alternate payee only receive vested amounts? Will unvested amounts become payable if they vest later?
We always recommend requesting a vesting schedule from Lendingone, LLC 401(k) plan to get clear insight into which funds are subject to forfeiture and which are not.
