It all depends on the plan document. The plan document will state the waiting period, which can be a year, a vesting schedule, and your rights.

So more information is needed to answer your question. I can say with reasonable assurance you will be entitled to 100% of the money you put directly into the plan. The waiting period and vesting schedule will decide how much you are entitled to of the employers money.
