Saving for your future can be as easy as setting up a payroll deduction of $25 a paycheck into a Deferred Compensation Account. Deferred compensation reduces your taxable income as it is deducted on a pre-tax basis and earnings accumulate on a tax deferred basis. The County offers a varied selection of investment choices through three deferred compensation vendors:

• My Deferred Comp ICMA
