FAQ
About Your Deferred Compensation Plan. Your "deferred comp plan" offers a simple, flexible way for you to save for retirement. With its powerful pretax savings features, investment options and planning resources, you can work toward replacing your working income in retirement — for life.
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.
Dipping into a 401(k) or 403(b) before age 59 ½ usually results in a 10% penalty.
You may keep your contributions in the Plan and continue to build savings for retirement. However, you may withdraw your contributions if you: Have a Plan account balance of less than $5,000, exclusive of any assets you may have in a rollover account, AND. Have not contributed to the Plan in the last two years, AND.
Upon severance from City service, or upon reaching age 59½, participants can begin receiving distributions at any time by either accessing their account online or submitting a Distribution Form to the Plan's Administrative Office. Participants can change or stop distributions at any time.
Distribution of earnings from the Roth 457 and 401(k) Plan before age 59½ or for a period shorter than five taxable years are subject to all applicable income taxes (Roth 401(k) distribution is also subject to penalties).
