457(b) Plans
A 457(b) is a deferred compensation plan available to employees of city, county and state government entities; as well as public schools and colleges. It allows employees to make pre-tax salary deferrals of up to $16,500 (2011), $22,000 (if age 50 or older) or 100% of compensation, whichever is less.
457(b)plans allow employees to save for retirement while reducing their taxable income. A 457(b) plan helps employees supplement their state pension plans. This plan can be sponsored by city, county and state governments; as well as public college and universities. Federal government entities are not eligible to sponsor 457(b) plans.
