Do you find yourself asking questions such as, "Will I
be able to live on a reduced income when I am no longer
working?" or "Will I have enough money to do the things I
want to do when I retire?" As a LASERS member and participant in a
defined benefit plan, you are guaranteed a pension for life once you retire.
However, if you choose to
participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP), also known as a 457 Plan,
you may enhance your nest egg with this supplemental retirement plan.
The DCP, administered by Great-West Financial, is a voluntary plan
which allows salary contributions "before-tax dollars," which means
you pay less in taxes now.
To find out more about the benefits of the Deferred
Compensation Plan and how to participate, visit the Great-West website, www.LouisianaDCP.com.
Please note that LASERS does not offer financial, legal, or tax advice.
