Benefit Fund Contribution; Excess Funds to Deferred Compensation; Medical, Dental, and Optical Insurance. Pursuant to federal and state law, employees attaining the minimum age of 46 ("3 % @ 50" retirement plan) or 51 ("3% @ 55" retirement plan) or 53 (“2.7% @ 57” retirement plan), as applicable, and who are within 4 years of their planned retirement date/normal retirement age (NRA), may take advantage of the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan "Catch-Up" provisions and allowances as defined in the City's Great West 457 Plan document. Employees may not make "Special Section 457 Catch-Up" contributions in the year they actually retire/attain their NRA. To the extent allowed by federal and state law and the City's deferred compensation plan, the City will allow, in 1 or more of the 3 calendar years ending prior to an employee's planned retirement date/NRA (or alternate NRA), the conversion of accrued sick leave at a rate of 2.25 hours for 1 hour of cash contribution, at the employee's base rate of pay in effect at the time of conversion, to the City's 457 Deferred Compensation Plan. Sick leave conversion contributions for the "457 Catch-Up" will normally be distributed over the 3 calendar years ending prior to an employee's planned retirement date/NRA (or alternate NRA). However, based on the total amount of "457 Catch-Up" contributions available to the employee, accumulated sick leave hours, and the employee's designated retirement date/NRA (or alternate NRA), "457 Catch-Up" contributions may occur over a shorter period of time prior to retirement; in no event, however, shall any contribution occur in the year the employee actually retires/attains his/her NRA.
