The 457(b) plan offers LSU employees one option through the State of Louisiana Deferred Compensation Plan with Empower Retirement. This plan allows employees to defer a pre-tax portion of earnings into a supplemental retirement account. The Roth 457(b) feature provides an additional way to save for retirement.
How Does It Work? With the Deferred Compensation Plan, you can set up automatic payroll deposits, adjust your investment allocations at any time, participate for as long as you choose, and access a range of investment options and support.
Louisiana Deferred Compensation Plan (LDCP) is a voluntary retirement savings plan that offers eligible employees the option to contribute pre-tax or post tax (Roth) contributions through payroll deductions.
To be eligible for regular retirement, you must have: 30 years service credit at any age. 25 years service credit at age 55, 10 years service credit at age 60, or.
If you're choosing one, the 457 is easily superior due to having no age restrictions for withdrawals. But the 403b offers the same great tax benefits of a 401k. Since you have access to both it would make sense to max both accounts as finances allow. Doing so could make you much closer to retirement than 18 years.
