No Early Withdrawal Penalty and a $50 Bonus!
The main difference between a 401(k) and a 457 is the age at which you can access your funds without limitation or penalty. A 457 plan is available the day you leave the job regardless of your age and there is no early withdrawal penalty. And the good news is: Start or increase your deferral to the 457 by 1% and get a $50 bonus to your account. It's as easy as that. To enroll, call 342-8657 or get the enrollment form from your payroll department. NEW: Hear what your coworkers have to say about the 457 plan.
PERSI: Withdrawing Funds
There are many reasons people consider tapping into their retirement accounts, especially during tough economic times. PERSI members who may be leaving State employment should understand that their options are different from those members who are still working. In response to numerous inquiries, PERSI prepared a document to explain the options available to members who may be leaving PERSI-covered employment.
Reduced Tuition Training Opportunities
Take advantage of these high quality courses offered to state employees throughout Idaho. Each course is sponsored by one of the Idaho Workforce Training Network schools: BSU, ISU, LCSC, ISU, NIC, CWI or EITC. These reduced tuition offerings are available through the coordinated efforts of the Idaho Division of Professional Technical Education, the Idaho Workforce Training Network, and an Idaho State Agency Advisory Council.
IDeal – Idaho College Savings Program
Attention Supervisors! IDeal is Idaho's 529 college savings plan. It offers federal and state tax advantages, an Idaho state income tax deduction, a wide range of professionally-managed investment options, and low minimum investments. If you're interested in having a representative of IDeal come and speak to your employees about the program, please contact Liza Carberry from the Idaho State Treasurer's Office at 208-332-2997 for more information.
Leave More Room for Trucks
The Idaho State Police and other law enforcement and safety agencies are working together to reduce the number of crashes caused by aggressive drivers. Officers will be stopping drivers that drive aggressively in and around commercial vehicles.
Statewide Human Resource Policy and Procedure Manual
This manual contains the Human Resource Policies applicable to all State of Idaho agencies and is designed solely as a working guide for Agency management and human resource staff in the day-to-day administration of our State's human resource program.
CyberSecurity Awareness Website
Learn how to keep your family safe on the web, anytime, anywhere. With sections for kids, teens, parents, educators and businesses, this site provides the information everyone needs. Activities are being coordinated through the Information Technology Resource Management Council (ITRMC) and the Department of Administration.
Domain Registrations - helping web users recognize Idaho
Apply for or learn more about the state of Idaho's new statewide, integrated, enterprise domains. State agencies have two more years to move to the Idaho.Gov domain. Non-commercial Idaho government entities, such as school districts, cities and counties, and law enforcement, to name a few, are invited to apply for their no-cost name.ID.Gov address. Extensive information concerning this new structure, as well as all necessary registration forms for requesting domain names and DNS entries are now available online. This site will continue to be accessible through the "Online Tasks" menu.
