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.
In some cases, the UC departmental contributions paid to the UC GME Benefit Plans on your behalf are considered taxable income (or imputed income) per U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations.
In some cases, it is advantageous for retired staff or faculty to return to work at UCSF on a part-time basis. Learn more about the recall and rehire processes.
Consider enrolling in the voluntary short-term and/or voluntary long-term disability plans during your period of initial eligibility (PIE) and/or your first 31 days as a new hire.
If you need to take time off due to your own serious health condition, you may be eligible for job-protected leave. At UCSF, some or all of your job-protected leave may be paid.
