Likewise, people ask, what are the rules for withdrawing from a 457 B?

If you have a 457(b), you can withdraw funds from the account without facing an early withdrawal penalty. But if you’ve been saving in a 403(b), you’ll take a 10% penalty surtax on any distributions you take before you hit age 59.5.

A 457(b) plan is offered through your employer, and contributions are taken from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis, which lowers your taxable income. … Unlike a 401(k) or 403(b), if you leave a job or retire before age 59½ and need to withdraw your retirement funds from a 457(b), you won’t pay a 10% tax penalty.

Beside this, what happens to my 457 B when I retire?
