You can: Call the HELPLINE at 1-800-422-8463 and an Account Executive will help you.
You may keep your contributions in the Plan and continue to build savings for retirement.

Have not contributed to the Plan in the last two years, AND.
The New York State Deferred Compensation Plan is a state-sponsored employee benefit for state employees and employees of participating employers. Available 24 hours a day. Personalized assistance is available 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays, except holidays.
You can't borrow from an IRA, and early withdrawals could incur taxes and penalties.
The Plan differs from other defined contribution retirement plans (like a 401(k) or 403(b)), because it is designed and managed with public employees in mind. The New York State Deferred Compensation Board establishes and administers the Plan policies.
