Latest News
457(b) Plan - Tax Exempt and Governmental Employees can now double their retirement Plan Deferrals.
A 457(b) plan is a tax-deferred compensation plan that is similar to other retirement plans such as the 403(b) and 401(k). The name refers to the relevant section 457 in the Internal Revenue Code that governs the plan. Two main types of 457(b) plans exist: governmental and tax-exempt 457(b) plans. (There is also a 457(f) plan that allows larger contributions than a 457(b) plan but it is subject
to the more complicated Section 409A regulations covering non-qualified plans).
457(b) plan deferrals no longer have to be
coordinated with 401(k) or 403(b) deferrals. This means an employee can contribute the maximum
to a 457(b) plan, regardless of contributions made
to another type of workplace savings plan.
For example, in 2009, if you are under age 50, you could potentially contribute $16,500 to a 457(b) plan, and another $16,500 to a 401(k) or 403(b) plan. If
you are over age 50 you could qualify for additional Catch-up contributions depending on whether you
are working for a tax-exempt organization or governmental.
Tax-exempt organizations will often set up a 457(b) plan for one or a few of their top executives. This allows the executives to defer an additional $16,500 above their 403(b) or 401(k) deferrals. (Instead of the executive deferring, the employer may make up to a $16,500 contribution for the executive or the $16,500 could consist of a combination of Employee and Employer contributions). A tax-exempt 457(b) plan must be set up as a “top hat” plan. This means only a select group of executives may be allowed to participate.
Tax-exempt 457(b) plans are not subject to
coverage testing. This allows the employer to
select participants by name. In addition, their
plan assets remain the property of the employer subject to the claims of creditors.
If you would like more information on 457(b) plans, please contact Lisa Jones Esq., Director of Compliance at 516-414-8338 or e-mail at Ljones@schlossco.com.
