Employee and Employer Contributions
401(k) plans often include both employee deferrals and employer contributions, such as matches or profit-sharing. For the T-ross Brothers Construction, Inc.. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, both types of contributions may exist and must be clearly addressed in the QDRO. It’s critical to specify whether the alternate payee is receiving a portion of:
- All vested account balances (including employer contributions)
- Only employee deferral contributions
- Only specific accounts (e.g., traditional pre-tax vs. Roth post-tax)
