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.
Currently (2025) the maximum allowable contribution is $23,500. Participants over the age of 50 can contribute an additional $7,500. If you are within three years of your normal retirement age, you may qualify to contribute more than the regular maximum under the Program's 3-year Catch-Up Provision.
