You may keep your contributions in the Plan and continue to build savings for retirement. However, you may withdraw your contributions if you: Have a Plan account balance of less than $5,000, exclusive of any assets you may have in a rollover account, AND. Have not contributed to the Plan in the last two years, AND.
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.
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.
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.
What Are Normal 401(k) Fees? 401(k) fees can range between 0.5% and 2% or even higher, based on the size of an employer's 401(k) plan, how many people are participating in the plan, and which provider is offering the plan.
Yes. 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.
Elective deferral limit The amount you can defer (including pre-tax and Roth contributions) to all your plans (not including 457(b) plans) is $23,000 in 2024 ($22,500 in 2023; $20,500 in 2022; $19,500 in 2020 and 2021; $19,000 in 2021).
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.
Qualified variable annuities, meaning financial products set up with pre-tax dollars, can be rolled over into a traditional IRA. Non-qualified variable annuities, meaning products set up with after-tax dollars, can't be rolled over into a traditional IRA.
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.
