Employee vs. Employer Contributions
In a divorce, contributions made by the employee typically belong to that employee unless otherwise directed by the QDRO. Employer contributions, however, may be subject to a vesting schedule, which is crucial to understand early in the drafting process.
When working with the Trust Point Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, review the vesting status carefully. The non-employee spouse (alternate payee) may only be entitled to a portion of the employer match or profit-sharing contribution, and only if the employee spouse was fully vested during the marriage timeframe.
