Michael Becker shares his insights on strategic considerations for retirees in the Investopedia article titled, “How a 457 Plan Works After Retirement: Withdrawals and Rollovers.”
“Becker said he cautions against attempting rollovers unless you understand that by doing so, you’ll be forfeiting your ability to withdraw from the plan before the age of 59 ½ penalty-free.”
He goes on to say:
“Retirees should consider coordinating withdrawals with other income sources, such as Social Security and pensions, to optimize their yearly tax bracket.”
