DCP is Easy, Flexible & Smart
Easy
- Start building your retirement security with as little as $30 a month.
- Invest to match your style: Either customize your account by selecting from a variety of investment options, or simply select a Retirement Strategy Fund that matches your target date for retirement or withdrawal.
Flexible
- Change your monthly contribution amount or investment strategy when necessary with 24/7 account access.
- Roll over eligible retirement balances into your DCP account.
Smart
- Pay yourself first by joining DCP. Choose from investment options selected by the Washington State Investment Board, with fees among the lowest in the marketplace.
- Since the money you contribute to DCP is deducted from your paycheck before taxes are taken out, you lower the amount you pay in current federal income taxes.
