The Ohio Deferred Compensation Program (Ohio DC) is a supplemental retirement plan that offers all Ohio public employees the opportunity to accumulate tax-deferred assets to meet their long-term financial goals and to provide a desirable lifestyle and peace of mind in retirement.
Deferred compensation has been the Program's only business since it opened its first participant accounts in 1976. The Program is unique in that it is a public, non-profit organization created by Ohio legislation. A 13-member Board comprised of public employees, retirees, and appointed investment experts governs the Program. The staff manages and administers the Program with public employees' best interests in mind.
The Program provides participants with educational tools, a diverse set of investment options, flexible savings and withdrawal options, as well as portability when changing jobs within the public sector.
