Vesting and Forfeiture Rules
One of the most important complexities in dividing a profit sharing plan like the J & B Installations, Inc.. Profit Sharing Plan is the vesting schedule. Only vested funds can be awarded to the former spouse in a QDRO. Unvested employer contributions may be forfeited if the employee leaves the company or in accordance with plan terms.
Before preparing a QDRO, it’s critical to confirm the participant’s vested balance at the time of divorce to avoid awarding amounts that are not actually available.
