The New York City Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP) allows eligible New York City employees a way to save for retirement through convenient payroll deductions. 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.
You also have the option to defer receiving your benefits until a later date, but only until you reach age 73. If you choose this option, benefit payments must begin no later than April 1 in the calendar year after you become age 73.
The regular yearly contributions amount for Deferred Compensation will increase from $23,000 to $23,500. The catch-up contribution limit that generally applies for employees aged 50 and over remains at $7,500 for 2025 for a combined maximum contribution limit of $31,000 in 2025.
To be eligible for this deduction, you must be at least age 59½ and the distributions must be in the form of periodic payments (non-lump sum payments).
WHAT DOES DEFERRED COMPENSATION MEAN TO ME? It means that you may defer a portion of your salary on a pre-tax, or after-tax basis. The amount of your salary that you defer pre-tax to the Plan is not subject to current Federal or New York State income taxes.
Yes. The Plan offers you an opportunity to defer benefit payments until as late as age 72 or as long as you're still working. When you retire you may be in a lower tax bracket. In addition, any earnings on your contributions will accumulate tax deferred until distribution.
