- No. Amounts rolled to a 457(b) from a non-457(b) plan must be tracked separately by the 457(b). Any distributions from this separately tracked amount are subject to early-distribution penalty. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/72#t_9:
- “Special rule for rollovers to section 457 plans. For purposes of this subsection, a distribution from an eligible deferred compensation plan (as defined in section 457(b)) of an eligible employer described in section 457(e)(1)(A) shall be treated as a distribution from a qualified retirement plan described in 4974(c)(1) to the extent that such distribution is attributable to an amount transferred to an eligible deferred compensation plan from a qualified retirement plan (as defined in section 4974(c)).”
