Employee Contributions and Employer Match
One of the major benefits of a 401(k) is that it usually includes both employee deferrals and employer contributions. In most divorces, both sources of funds are divided if they were earned during the marriage.
It’s important to review:
- The dates of contributions relative to the marriage
- Whether employer contributions are fully vested or have a vesting schedule
For the Salon Lofts 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust, we’ll need to determine what part of the employer match is subject to division and whether any part is forfeitable due to vesting rules.
