Employee Contributions vs. Employer Contributions
In most cases, employee contributions to a 401(k) account are always 100% vested and available to be divided. But employer contributions often come with a vesting schedule. If the participant hasn’t been with the company long enough, part of the employer contributions may be forfeited—and therefore unavailable to the alternate payee.
For the Splitting Kings LLC 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust, it’s important to obtain a vesting statement from the plan administrator to ensure you’re dividing only the vested value.
