Retiree Health Benefits Working Group formed

 to study options for benefits stability

Following an extensive nomination process, the Retiree Health Benefits Working Group has been formed to explore options that will ensure the long-term financial viability of the retiree health benefits program and the quality of the benefits offered. The work pertains only to retiree health benefits; it does not affect UC Retirement Plan (UCRP) pension benefits.

After a kickoff meeting in January, the group of 16 faculty, current staff and retirees, who have been approved by President Napolitano, is scheduled to meet about every three weeks and present its analysis to UC leadership by June 2018. The results of the working group’s deliberations and/or any proposed changes to the retiree health benefits program will be shared with the UC community. Read more on the UCnet website.
