May I move funds from the plan into another eligible retirement plan?

(1) Rollover. Subject to the rules of the receiving plan, you may roll pretax contributions into an individual retirement account (IRA) or another eligible retirement plan after separation from service. You also have the option of rolling out dollars from your Roth 457(b) account to a Roth IRA or another employer plan with designated Roth accounts (such as a 457, 401(k), or 403(b) that accepts Roth rollovers).

(2) Plan-to-plan transfer. You may transfer money:

(a) Through a plan-to-plan transfer into another eligible governmental Section 457(b) plan after you terminate employment, if the receiving plan allows the transfer and you are employed by the sponsor of the receiving plan.

(b) Through a plan-to-plan transfer into another eligible governmental Section 457(b) plan maintained by a political subdivision if the receiving plan allows the transfer and you are employed by the political subdivision both before and after the transfer.

Transferred funds are governed by the rules of the receiving plan.

(3) Subject to the rules of the receiving plan, if your spouse becomes eligible to receive a distribution as beneficiary, your spouse may roll an eligible rollover distribution from his/her deferred compensation account into an eligible retirement plan in which he or she is a member.

(4) Rollover/transfer application. You or your spouse must complete the appropriate form to transfer or roll money over from your deferred compensation account. Forms are available through the department or on its website.
