*Rehired
retirees will be subject to having hours counted toward active UCRP
membership unless they sign a waiver which explicitly exempts them from
accruing additional UCRP Service Credit during the period of reemployment.
Signing the waiver will allow monthly retirement income to continue
uninterrupted by periods of active UCRP membership. Upon signing the
waiver, any annuitant insurances (medical and dental) will continue,
although the rehired retiree may be entitled to additional health and
welfare plans as an employee under the Mid-Level or CORE benefits package
pursuant to the percent and duration of the appointment. Rehire guidelines
should be followed to protect the University's tax-favored status.
