Client wants to stop contributing to her Governmental 457 Plan. She is retired at 52 and states she is in some 'designated payment period'.

Can a Governmental 457 plan set up a mandatory contribution period even after retirement? I've looked through the code but could not find anything applicable to this. The client would like to stop making contributions to the plan and roll the money over to an IRA in her name. Again, the client is 52 years old and retired.

? Employee contributions to a 457 plan are made from compensation- if an employee has retired how can contributions be required?
