Retirement

Overview

Planning for retirement is a big step — the earlier you start to plan, the better. For most employees, the retirement process takes about three to four months to see through.

Preparing for retirement

Please closely review the Preparing for Retirement article on UCNet for a full list of planning materials, things to know, and steps to take in advance of your retirement.

Retirement counseling

  • UCSF campus employees should contact the Campus Benefits Specialty Center at 415-476-1400 or [email protected] to schedule an appointment with your dedicated counselor.
