Employee vs. Employer Contributions
A typical 401(k) includes both employee salary deferrals and employer contributions (like matching). In the The Impact Partnership Services, Inc.. 401(k) Plan, the QDRO may need to treat these separately, especially if employer contributions have vesting schedules. Unvested amounts are usually not eligible for division unless they vest before the participant terminates employment and the QDRO is processed on time. A solid QDRO will specify how to treat forfeited amounts.
