UC has changed the age at which you can request a withdrawal from the 457(b) and DC Plans while you are still a UC employee. These are called “in-service withdrawals.”

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The change is designed to make withdrawal provisions more consistent across the 403(b), 457(b), and DC Plans.

You can now request in-service withdrawals as follows:

• 403(b) Plan. You may request an in-service withdrawal if you are either age 59.5 or have a financial hardship.
• 457(b) Plan. You may request an in-service withdrawal if you are either age 59.5 or have an unforeseeable emergency.
• DC Plan. You may request an in-service withdrawal of your vested pre-tax contributions if you are age 59.5. You may withdraw money from your After-tax Account at any time.
