Employee vs. Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) plans, including the Unlimited Possibilities 401(k) Plan, include both:
- Employee contributions: The funds the employee voluntarily deferred from their own wages.
- Employer contributions: Match or non-elective contributions the employer made under the plan’s terms, which may be subject to vesting.
When dividing the plan through a QDRO, it’s essential to clarify whether one spouse is to receive a share of just the employee contributions, just the vested employer contributions, or both.
