Roth Option

The PERAPlus 401(k) and 457 Plans also offer a Roth option that can help participants save toward the future and may also provide tax-free withdrawals at retirement. Unlike traditional PERAPlus 401(k)/457 pre-tax contributions, Roth contributions are taxed before the money is contributed to the Plan. Any earnings on Roth contributions grow tax-free and distributions will also be free of federal (and where applicable, state and local) income taxes, provided they are qualified distributions.

Roth contributions are only available to employees whose employers have adopted the Roth option.
