Employee and Employer Contributions
In a 401(k), an account balance is made up of both employee contributions and possibly employer matching contributions. The plan documents for the Psycare, Inc.. 401(k) Plan may include details about employer contribution formulas and vesting schedules.
When drafting the QDRO, it’s essential to clearly state whether the division includes only vested employer contributions or also unvested ones. If the employee hasn’t worked long enough to fully vest, a portion of the employer contributions may be forfeited. You don’t want to base your settlement on phantom funds. Review the most recent plan statement or Summary Plan Description (SPD) for details.
