Retirement FAQs

  • What is the difference between a 457(b) plan and a 403(b) plan?

    Both types of plans are tax deferred, but with the 457(b), you may withdraw when you leave your employer, or in the case of death, disability or unforeseen emergency, regardless of your age. Whereas with the 403(b), you can receive your distributions at age 59½, upon severance of employment or become fully disabled.

  • Can I transfer my 403(b) plan at any time?

    Yes. If you are still employed, you may transfer your 403(b) between eligible 403(b) providers. If you are no longer employed or otherwise meet a qualifying event, you become eligible to roll funds over to an IRA or other eligible retirement plan.
