For SIMPLE IRA plans, the vesting rules are applicable for both employee and employer contributions.
-
Any contributions you make to your SIMPLE IRA as an employee are always 100% vested.This means that you own the money you contribute, and you can manage or invest it for your retirement fund withdrawal.
-
Employer contributions (either matching or non-elective contributions) will also be 100% vested, and the employee completely owns them, even if they leave the job.
