 DRS Deferred Compensation Plans
Think pennies, save more: A simple shift that can enhance your retirement savings
There are two ways to contribute to Washington’s Deferred Compensation Program (DCP) through DRS. You can choose to invest a set dollar amount every month, or you can opt to invest a percentage of your gross pay.
One way to make sure you’re investing a smart amount is to think of your savings as a pennies-on-the-dollar amount rather than a percentage. If you’re saving 10% of your income, that’s 10 pennies for every dollar earned. Find out how this approach works.
Risk Management & Safety

Timely submission is important!

Prompt reporting helps us:
- Ensure everyone’s safety
