Wicomico County Public Schools 403(B) Plan Universal Availability Notice 457(b) Plan A 457(b) Plan is a non-qualified tax-deferred compensation plan. Lincoln Financial Group is the sole provider for the WCPS 457(b) Plan. Employees set aside money for retirement on a pretax or post-tax basis. Once you enroll, contributions are made under a salary reduction agreement which allows your employer to withhold money from your paycheck to be contributed directly into a 457(b) account for your benefit. The 457(b) contributions grow tax free until withdrawal at retirement or termination of employment. Wicomico County Public Schools does not make any matching contributions to employee contributions to the 457(b) Plan.
