1. Employee vs. Employer Contributions
401(k) plans often include both employee salary deferrals and employer contributions (sometimes based on a percentage match or profit sharing). Dividing the plan requires attention to:
- The total account balance as of the marital cutoff date
- Whether employer contributions are fully vested
- If additional contributions were made after separation but before a QDRO is in place
For the Millennium Concrete LLC 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, contribution types should be explicitly listed and addressed in the QDRO to avoid disputes.
