457(b) Employees Deferred Compensation Plan Web site

To help you achieve your financial and retirement goals, the County sponsors a 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan. The Plan is a voluntary plan available to all employees of the County.

This Web site is designed for use only by participants who have selected ING as their Plan provider, and for employees who seek information about the products and services offered by ING under the County’s Plan.

This Web site has been developed to provide you with easy access to information about the Plan. This Web site will provide you with access to your account information and the ability to make account transactions. In addition, you can receive comprehensive Plan information, investment information, frequently asked questions, investment and retirement planning educational materials, interactive calculators and the services available from ING.

This Web site is only one of the methods for you to receive information about the Plan and your account. Other services available include:

  • one-on-one meetings on a variety of issues, including enrollment, investment principles, and distribution planning
  • group meetings and seminars led by licensed representatives
  • investment education
  • toll-free access to a customer information center and 24 hour automated voice response unit (VRU)
  • timely quarterly account statements
  • informative quarterly newsletters
  • ongoing local service

    • Group annuity contracts offered through a retirement program are long-term investments designed for retirement purposes. Money distributed will be taxed as ordinary income in the year the money is distributed. Account values fluctuate with market conditions and, when surrendered, the principal may be worth more or less than the original amount invested. Tax deferral is provided by the plan and the annuity does not provide any additional tax deferral benefit. Annuities may be subject to additional fees and expenses to which other tax-qualified plan funding vehicles may not be subject. However, annuities provide features and benefits such as lifetime income payments and death benefits which may be valuable to you. The Participant Information Booklet and fund prospectuses contain additional information about the expenses associated with the investment options. To obtain an Information Booklet or prospectus, contact your local representative. Please read this information carefully before you invest.
