Employee vs. Employer Contributions
It’s common for 401(k) accounts to include both employee salary deferrals and employer matching or profit-sharing contributions. In divorce cases involving the Ibc Airways, Inc.. 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan, the QDRO should clearly state whether the division includes:
- Only the participant’s contributions
- Both employee and employer contributions
Employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule. If the QDRO assigns a portion of unvested amounts, they could later be forfeited unless stated otherwise in the plan or order.
