*See plan information regarding limitations on withdrawals from your account. For the NC 401(k) Plan, a distribution from a Roth account is “qualified” to be tax-free if the first Roth contribution remains in the account for at least five tax years AND: a) you are 59½ or older, or b) you have separated from service due to a disability, retirement, or death. If your withdrawal does not meet these conditions, then the Roth earnings—but not the Roth contributions—may be subject to state and federal income taxes. For the NC 457 Plan, the IRS rules define what is considered a “qualified” distribution from a Roth account in order to be tax-free. This means you can withdraw money from your NC 457 Roth account tax-free once you meet the following criteria: The first Roth contribution to your account must remain in your account at least five tax years AND a) you have separated from service and are 59½ or older, or b) you have separated from service due to a disability retirement, or c) you are still working and are at least 70½.
