the Retirement Savings Program
University of California Retirement Plan (UCRP)
In most cases, if you are hired to work at UC continuously for at least 50
percent time for one year or longer, you are automatically an active member of
the UC Retirement Plan (UCRP). See the Retirement
and Savings section of this website for information about UCRP.
Retirement Savings Program
Currently, most employees make mandatory contributions to the Defined Contribution
Plan (DC Plan). Your first contribution automatically goes into the UC Savings
Fund, but you can redirect future contributions and transfer your first contribution
to other funds. Fidelity Retirement Services provides
record keeping services for the DC Plan and for UC's other Retirement Savings
Program plans. You will receive a new hire kit from Fidelity with information
about the Retirement Savings Program. You can also learn about the Program on
this website and
on the Fidelity Retirement
Services website.
