Family Member Verification Project to begin in March 2012

As communicated during Open Enrollment, UC has contracted with Secova to conduct a full Family Member Verification project in the spring of 2012. To comply with UC's Group Insurance Regulations and to meet the University's fiduciary responsibility, the goal is to verify that dependents enrolled in UC-sponsored medical, dental & optical plans are eligible to be enrolled.

403(b) and 457(b) contribution limits increase for 2012:

$17,000 annual limit if under age 50 as of 12/31/2012
$22,500 annual limit if 50 or over as of 12/31/2012

The limits apply to both the 403(b) and the 457(b) plans, and you may defer up to the maximum amount in both plans.

Regents approve changes to UC’s retiree health and pension programs

On December 13, 2010, the Regents voted to change some of UC’s retiree health and pension programs. Click here for additional information.

Pension benefits for current employees and retirees will not be affected by the changes. Future employees, hired July 1, 2013 or later, will have a modified pension plan.

Beginning July 1, 2013, UC will also adopt a new formula for contributions toward retiree health benefits. Approximately 46 % of the current UC population will be grandfathered under the existing eligibility rules, while the remained of employees will be subject to the new rules.
