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.
All local governments in New York State have the authority to sponsor a deferred compensation plan for their employees. Deferred compensation plans are authorized by Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code and permit employees to save a portion of their current income for retirement.
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.
