Employee and Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) plans include both employee contributions (funded by the participant’s paycheck) and employer matching contributions. A QDRO can divide all or part of these contributions. When dividing the Tsd 401(k) Plan, make sure the QDRO clearly states whether the alternate payee is entitled to:
- Just the marital portion of employee contributions
- Some or all of the employer match
- Gains and losses on the awarded amount from a specific date (usually date of separation or divorce filing)
