With Roth 401(k)s, income taxes are not owed on the withdrawal of your contributions, but income taxes and the 10% penalty tax may apply on the withdrawal of earnings, unless an exception applies. It's important to keep taxes and penalties in mind when making an early withdrawal.
Substantially Equal Periodic Payments (SEPP) The IRC allows those under the age of 59 ½ to withdraw from their 401(k) plans without the 10% additional penalty if they do so in the form of a series of substantially equal payments (SoSEPP) over their remaining life expectancy.
Assets rolled over from your account(s) may be subject to surrender charges, other fees and/or a 10% tax penalty if withdrawn before age 59½.
However, early retirement carries a penalty of a permanent reduction in your retirement benefit at a rate of 6.5% for each year that you have retired prior to age 63.
You can withdraw your Roth NYCE IRA assets at any time. However, if the distribution is a not a Qualified Distribution you will be subject to income taxes on all the earnings along with a 10% early withdrawal penalty. You can leave amounts in your Roth NYCE IRA as long as you live.
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.
