The left column lists all of the accounts deferred comp allows rollover from and the top row shows the deferred compensation accounts County of San Diego offers. As you cross reference there is a yes or no to describe whether that type of retirement account can be rolled over into one of the four San Diego deferred compensation accounts.

Deferred compensation rollover options
Did you know that you can roll over other retirement funds into your County of San Diego Deferred Compensation Program account? By doing so, you will benefit from the simplicity of having your funds in one place.

Terminal Pay Plan (TPP)
Consider rolling your Terminal Pay Plan payment into your Deferred Compensation account. If you retire or separate from service as a Tier I, Tier A or Tier B member with SDCERA, and you are at least 55 years of age or 50 for Deputy Sheriff (DS) or Sheriff Management (SM), then your accrued vacation balance may be paid through the TPP. You may roll over all or a portion of these funds into your existing Deferred Compensation account to defer taxes. You also have the option to receive all or a portion of your payment as a taxable distribution by direct deposit or check. To learn more, visit the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s webpage.
