Manage your retirement savings
Once you leave employment, you will not contribute directly to your Texa$aver account, but you can keep your money with the program as long as you like. You can also take distributions or roll over all or part of the balance to another qualified plan or an IRA.
Visit the Texa$aver 401(k) / 457 Program for Retirees page for details. If you had an account prior to 1991, view Prior 457 Plans for Retirees.
