The 457(B) Plan allows employees to make regular contributions into retirement savings. There are both pre-tax and after-tax savings options. In the event of an unforeseeable, unbudgetable hardship situation, you may be eligible to receive an emergency withdrawal from the Deferred Compensation Plan. Valley Water provides two deferred compensation plans to its employees and retirees: a 457(b) plan and a 401(a) plan.
