Choosing your retirement benefits

Welcome to UC! Your retirement benefits are a valuable part of your compensation, so take the time to consider your options carefully.

Eligible faculty and staff have 90 days to make a choice between Pension Choice and Savings Choice. (If you're eligible, you'll receive a Retirement Benefits Decision Guide in the mail.) The sooner you enroll, the sooner you start receiving UC contributions and/or service credit.

Did you work for UC before July 1, 2016, or are you a CalPERS "Classic Member"? Read more about different rules that may apply to your retirement benefits.

To help you reach your financial goals, consider supplementing your retirement savings through UC's 403(b), 457(b) or DC Plans.
