Correspondingly, who qualifies for a 457b plan?
To use a 457(b) plan, you must be a state or local government employee. Think firefighter, teacher, police officer, and the like. Even then, not every employer offers these options. Typically, most non-federal government workers will qualify for a 457(b) plan.
Plans eligible under 457(b) allow employees of sponsoring organizations to defer income taxation on retirement savings into future years. Ineligible plans may trigger different tax treatment under IRC 457(f).
