A 457 plan is a retirement plan established for the benefit of state and local government employees or the employees of tax-exempt organizations.
The 457 plan assets of tax-exempt employers are subject to the claims of the employer's creditors, but those of plans sponsored by governmental entities are not.
In 2004 and later years, proceeds from a governmental 457 plan may be rolled over to an IRA or a new employer's qualified plan like a defined benefit or 401(k), 403(b) or 457 plan that accepts transfers from a previous employer's plan.

457 plans (457 plans) have historically been, at best, a questionable means of allowing employees to help save for their retirement.

 Section 457 Retirement Plans
Plans established or maintained by a state, a political subdivision, or a state agency or instrumentality are specifically exempted from ERISA Title I. Therefore, 457 plans established by such employers ("governmental 457 plans") are not subject to ERISA.
Plans established by nonchurch tax-exempt organizations generally are subject to the requirements of ERISA Title I. ERISA requires that most retirement plans be funded, and plan assets held in trust.
Because the assets of a nongovernmental 457(b) plan are not held in an ERISA trust, participants have less protection than participants in qualified employer plans in the event of the plan sponsor's bankruptcy.

 New Treatment for IRC Section 457 Plan Distributions
Recent amendments to IRC sections 457 and 3401 changed the characteristic of distributions from a government section 457 deferred compensation plan, from payment as wages to payment as a pension or annuity.
Nevertheless, section 457 plan income is included in the denominator of the income percentage, so the $20,000 exclusion may be utilized against that income, as if a resident.
Because distributions from section 457 plans are now characterized as pension and annuity income, they are not considered self-employment income and thus are not subject to the Yonkers nonresident earnings tax.
