457 Deferred Compensation Plan

The MetroMax 457 Deferred Compensation Plan allows you to invest your Metro pay specifically for your retirement. You decide whether or not you want to participate, how much to contribute through payroll deductions, and what funds to invest in. While the plan provider can help inform you about your options, ultimately, you're the one in control. If you like, you can make changes at anytime. You can also stop and restart your MetroMax contributions at anytime. If you stop, the amount you have accumulated will stay invested.
