The New York City Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP) allows eligible New York City employees a way to save for retirement through convenient payroll deductions. This plan is administered by The Office of Labor Relations (OLR).
IRAs: You can roll over all or part of any distribution from your IRA except: A required minimum distribution or. A distribution of excess contributions and related earnings.
Assets rolled into a 457 plan from an IRA or other eligible plan must be maintained and tracked in a separate account. Investment earnings that accrue on these assets must also be held in this separate account. The rules of the transmitting plan continue to apply, including the 10% early withdrawal penalty.
If you roll your DCP funds directly over into a traditional IRA or eligible retirement plan, the funds won't be taxed until you withdraw them. If you roll over into a Roth account, the rules could be different. Check with the IRS to learn how this choice will impact you.
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.
Indirect Rollover: The Deferred Compensation Plan will accept eligible rollover distributions from an eligible retirement plan. This amount must have been received by you, from the previous plan, no longer than 60 days prior to deposit in the Deferred Compensation Plan.
Also, inherited Roth IRAs can only be rolled over into a Roth IRA, and inherited Roth 401(k)/403(b)/457(b) accounts can only be rolled into another Roth 401(k)/403(b)/457(b) account that accepts rollovers, or into Roth IRAs.
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 Assets rolled over from your account(s) may be subject to surrender charges, other fees and/or a 10% tax penalty if withdrawn before age 59½.
