The Deferred Compensation Plan has come to your phone! The NYC Deferred Compensation Plan has launched a new mobile web application (“mobile web app”) designed to provide you with easy access to your NYC Deferred Compensation and NYCE IRA account information - even when you're on-the-go!
The Plan offers you an opportunity to defer benefit payments until as late as age 72 or as long as you're still working. When you retire you may be in a lower tax bracket. In addition, any earnings on your contributions will accumulate tax deferred until distribution.
DCP is comprised of two programs: a 457 Plan and a 401(k) Plan, both of which offer pre-tax and Roth (after-tax) options.
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.
As always, you can speak with a Customer Service Representative about the Plan and your account(s) on the phone by calling at (212) 306-7760.
