The State of Illinois Employees' Deferred Compensation Plan is a supplemental retirement plan for State employees. Contributions to the Plan can be made on a pre-tax or after-tax (Roth) basis through salary deferrals. However, the combined pre-tax and Roth contributions cannot exceed the IRS limit. In 2020, employees are allowed to defer up to $19,500. Employees over age 50 are allowed to defer up to $26,000. Employees enrolled in Special Catch-Up are allowed to defer up to $39,000.
Pre-tax contributions, together with any earnings, accumulate tax-deferred until the employee terminates service, dies, or incurs unforeseeable financial hardship. Once distributions begin, the distributed monies are fully taxable as ordinary income for federal tax purposes. The funds are never taxed by the State of Illinois.
Roth contributions, together with any earnings, qualify for tax-free distribution when the initial after-tax contributions to the account are at least 5 years old and the employee is age 59 ½ or older, dies, or becomes disabled.
