The road to retirement, while filled with excitement, can sometimes be unexpectedly bumpy. “Transitioning to Retirement,” with separate sessions for UC Davis Health faculty/physicians/academics and staff, will provide valuable information and tools for developing a successful strategy for retirement. Topics will include UC pension options, retiree health benefits, Social Security, financial planning for retirement and work/life transitions. It is recommended that participants register for the entire 4-week series, however each session is available for individual registration.

Workshop leaders will include UC Davis staff and faculty and representatives from retirement-focused organizations. “Transitioning to Retirement” is a joint project of the UC Davis Retiree Center and the Office of the Vice Provost-Academic Personnel with support from Staff Development and Professional Services.

Session 1: Introduction and Understanding UC Retirement Plan Income Options

This session will first provide an overview of the class series and information about retirement planning resources. The second part of this session will be an overview of the UC Retirement Plan (UCRP) by staff from the UC Retirement Administration Service Center. The UCRP provides retirees with a monthly lifetime pension or a lump-sum payout upon retirement. UCRP topics will include estimating your retirement income and determining options for survivor benefits.

Vice Provost Philip Kass will address some of the specifics pertaining to Academics anticipating retirement in the afternoon session.
