Employee vs. Employer Contributions
This plan may contain both:
- Employee Contributions: These are typically 100% owned by the employee and thus are usually subject to division.
- Employer Contributions: These may be subject to vesting schedules. Only the vested portion can be divided through a QDRO.
It’s important to request a participant statement showing the vested and non-vested balances at or near the date of divorce. The QDRO can address whether unvested amounts are included and how future vesting should be handled.
