The County also makes a contribution to the employee’s account which is determined by an outside Actuary. The County is obligated to contribute sufficient funds to assure the payment of all pension benefits; therefore, all benefits are guaranteed by the County.
- Montgomery County offers employees an optional 457B Deferred Compensation Plan. This includes a diverse selection of investment options, a stable-value investment option, and Roth IRA contributions.
