New benefits eligibility rules for rehired retirees
There are important changes coming this year to UC’s benefits eligibility policy for some people who return to UC employment within 26 weeks (6 months) of retirement.
Under the new guidelines, rehired staff retirees and recalled academic appointees (referred to collectively as “rehired retirees”) who meet specific eligibility criteria will be offered the “Mid-level” faculty/staff benefits package instead of retiree medical benefits. UC retiree medical benefits will be suspended for any rehired retiree who is offered faculty/staff benefits, regardless of whether they enroll.
