Proud partner of The United States Conference of Mayors and provider of the USCM 457(b) Deferred Compensation Program

Your employees count on you for a comprehensive benefits package that meets their needs for a high quality of life — both now and into retirement. For nearly 30 years, USCM members have trusted Nationwide for retirement planning products and services that municipal workers immediately recognize as a defining benefit of employment.

The 457(b) Program lets public employees enjoy the opportunity for tax-deferred growth of the invested money and its earnings, with no federal taxes so that their assets can grow and compound faster. Participants pay ordinary income taxes when and as they withdraw from their accounts.

Unlike other qualified plans, the USCM 457(b) Program participants can access their funds immediately upon severing from employment — although, through Nationwide’s educational efforts, many see the long-term benefits of continuing to participate in the Program well into retirement.
