The Plan is a supplemental retirement savings plan. New York State retirement plans will generally provide your primary retirement income. 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.
Current NYS law excludes the first $20,000 of income per year from certain pension and annuity programs, including 403(b) savings plans, from taxable income if the recipient is at least age 59 1/2. SUNY's 403(b) program offers both pre-tax and post-tax savings options.
A 403(b) plan (tax-sheltered annuity plan or TSA) is a retirement plan offered by public schools and certain charities. It's similar to a 401(k) plan maintained by a for-profit entity. Just as with a 401(k) plan, a 403(b) plan lets employees defer some of their salary into individual accounts.
Qualified retirement plans, deferred compensation plans and individual retirement accounts are all different, including fees and when you can access funds. Assets rolled over from your account(s) may be subject to surrender charges, other fees and/or a 10% tax penalty if withdrawn before age 59½.
For most people, deferred compensation is a good way to use your income earning years as a direct means to supplement your pension and Social Security benefits when you retire and build a bright financial future.

The normal contribution limit for elective deferrals to a 457 deferred compensation plan is $23,500. Employees age 50 or older may contribute up to an additional $7,500 for a total of $31,000.
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.
