Deferred Compensation

If you have been financially impacted by the NM wildfires and you participate in the voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan, you can apply for a taxable Unforeseen Emergency Withdrawal. You must choose "Extraordinary Non-reoccurring Event" as the reason; you must write a letter of explanation and reference the New Mexico Wildfires in your letter. For questions, call 1-833-424-SAVE or email PERA-SmartSave@state.nm.us.
