City of Seattle Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan

On January 24, 2025, price corrections were processed for the PIMCO Total Return Fund - Institutional Class share values for January 8, 2025. These price corrections caused erroneous missed loan repayment notifications to be sent to individuals with active loans who were invested in this fund. Please note, these loan repayments were applied January 13, 2025. We apologize for this miscommunication. If you have any questions regarding your account, please contact the Nationwide Solutions Center at (855) 550-1757.

This plan allows all persons identified as an employee under the Seattle Municipal Code to invest in their future by building a retirement savings account using payroll deductions.

Employees in an exempt position or a permanent non-exempt position, may be eligible for a defined benefit plan. Refer to the Pension links on this page for more information.
