The New York City Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP) allows eligible New York City employees a way to save for retirement through convenient payroll deductions. This plan is administered by The Office of Labor Relations (OLR).
The City of San José Deferred Compensation plan allows you to roll over retirement plan assets you may hold from either a past or future employer into the plan if you receive an eligible rollover distribution. Currently, the City of San José 457 Plan accepts rollovers from 457(b), 401(a), 403(b), and 401(k) plans.
Please know that your assets that started and grew in your regular Plan account or were rolled over from another 457 deferred compensation plan are not eligible for a withdrawal until you leave public service, become age 59 1/2, or are needed for an unforeseeable emergency withdrawal.
