The Ohio Deferred Compensation plan is a voluntary supplemental retirement program that provides for the deferral of a specified amount of your salary for long-term investment.
Bottom Line. The Ohio Deferred Compensation program offers a flexible and tax-advantaged way for state and local government employees to supplement their retirement savings. With options for both pre-tax and Roth contributions, participants can tailor their approach to suit their financial goals and tax preferences.
Your account balance will be held by Ohio Deferred Compensation in trust on behalf of your employer for the exclusive benefit of you or your beneficiaries. You can cancel your participation before your forms are processed by calling 877-644-6457 within seven days of the date signed on this form.
They're more like an agreement between you and your employer to defer a portion of your annual income until a specific date in the future. Depending on the plan, that date could be in 5 years, 10 years, or in retirement.
