DCP is comprised of two programs: a 457 Plan and a 401(k) Plan, both of which offer pre-tax and Roth (after-tax) options.
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).
As always, you can speak with a Deferred Compensation Plan Customer Service Representative about the Plan and your account(s) on the phone by calling at (212) 306-7760, 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, except holidays.
For assistance or more information please contact NYCAPS at 212-487-0500.
All employees, non-Medicare retirees, and their non-Medicare dependents enrolled in a health plan offered by the City's Health Benefits Program receive coverage for certain categories of prescription drugs. For questions regarding the PICA prescription drug benefit program please call 1-800-467-2006.
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.
If you have any questions, please email only to: ZoningVerificationLetter@planning.nyc. ATTENTION: As the Department of City Planning takes precautions against the spread of COVID-19, please expect some delays in processing times for zoning verification letters. We apologize for the inconvenience.
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).
