Getting Started with Section 457

Distributions are not required at the time of retirement, but are required beginning in the year you attain the age of 72 years. However, you may elect to take your distribution at termination of employment as a lump sum, monthly, quarterly or annual payment. You may also choose to roll over your funds as permitted in your plan document. North Shore Bank will assist you in structuring your repayments to meet your individual needs and goals.

The minimum deferral is $10.00 per pay period. The maximum deferral may change annually. As of tax year 2025, the contribution limit is $23,500. Employees age 50 and older are eligible for catch up contributions of an additional $7,500 with total allowable to $31,000.

Since the inception of the North Shore Bank Deferred compensation program, the bank has assessed no service charges or administrative fees for funds allocated to a North Shore Bank Certificate of Deposit. A small annual asset fee is incurred when funds are allocated to the mutual fund options.
