  457 plan - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The 457 plan is a type of tax advantaged defined contribution retirement plan that is available for governmental and certain non governmental employers in the United States.
The second (only available to governmental 457 plans?) is much more complicated and can be elected instead by an employee that is within 3 years of normal retirement age (and perhaps eligible retirement at any age).
The IRS code requires that money in a non governmental 457 plan remains the property of the employer and is thus available to general creditors of the employer in legal or bankruptcy proceedings.

 FROF Articles - Section 457 Plans: Expanded Opportunities   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code was enacted in 1978 to restrict the ability of employees of state and local governments to defer portions of their compensation.
Section 457 was enacted in response to the fear that deferred-compensation arrangements involving tax-exempt employers could be abusive in the absence of the usual tension between an employee's desire to defer tax on compensation and the employer's desire to obtain a current tax deduction.
Section 457 plans sponsored by non-governmental tax-exempt organizations must be unfunded and the assets of such plans must remain the property of the employer and therefore subject to the claims of the tax-exempt organization's general creditors.

 CCH Financial Planning Toolkit | 457 Plan Rollovers
457 plans (457 plans) have historically been, at best, a questionable means of allowing employees to help save for their retirement.
Another major disadvantage of 457 plans is that they generally have not allowed tax-free rollovers of distributions between a 457 plan and any other plan (including another 457 plan, a qualified plan, an IRA, or a 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity).
A 457 plan administrator is required to provide a written explanation of the rollover rules to plan participants who receive a distribution eligible for rollover.

 Learn the differences between a 401(k) and a 457 plan - Mar. 20, 2000
    A Section 457 plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan of a governmental agency or tax-exempt organization.  Contributions are not taxable in the year the compensation is earned.  The taxes on contributions and earnings are deferred until cash is withdrawn, just as with a qualified profit sharing plan such as a 401(k) or deductible IRA.
Withdrawals from 457 plans are limited to a few specific circumstances fairly similar to other retirement plans.  As a nonqualified plan, however, there are a few differences between 457 plans and 401(k)s.
You are also limited to a maximum contribution of $2,000 per year.  The tax-free earnings and distributions of a Roth along with the fact that Roths are not subject to RMDs at age 70-1/2 provide a lot of estate planning benefits if the primary goal of the investment is to maximize wealth for the beneficiaries.
