Retired UC employees are a valuable resource, providing the University with institutional knowledge, research resources and experienced replacements when needed. Many employers, including UC, turn to their retirees to address compelling needs for specialized knowledge and experience in the workplace.

Most rehired UC retirees work on a part-time basis and for a limited duration, which supports the orderly administration of the retirement system and the need to refresh the UC workforce.

UC's policy on returning to work after retirement applies to those who are receiving UC Retirement Plan (UCRP) monthly income and those who elected a lump sum cashout at retirement.

Before returning to work at UC, retirees should:

• Read the policy regarding returning to UC employment after retirement;
• Understand the effect of your reemployment on your medical insurance and Medicare
• Sign the UC Retiree Election Form

Retirees who were rehired prior to January 1, 2009, are subject to the Rehired Retiree guidelines in place prior to implementation of the current policy until their appointment end date or a there is a change to their current appointment, whichever occurs first.

Individuals with indefinite end dates to their current appointments are subject to the Rehired Retiree guidelines in place prior to implementation of the current policy until their current appointment ends or there is a change to their current appointment, whichever occurs first.
