Employee and Employer Contributions
The Usp Decatur Inc. 410k Plan likely includes both employee deferrals and employer matching contributions. During divorce, both sources can be divided, but employer contributions frequently come with vesting schedules. It’s critical to determine:
- What portion of the employer match is vested
- Whether unvested amounts will be forfeited upon employment termination
- Whether unvested amounts can still be awarded in the QDRO if the participant remains employed
The QDRO should define whether the alternate payee receives a percentage of the total vested balance as of a specific date or a flat dollar amount.
