UCLA Faculty Association: Retirement Planning Webinars

Retirement Planning Webinars

If you want a gold watch, you'll have to buy one;
UCRS doesn't provide a watch, gold or not.

For those faculty getting close to retirement, or thinking about retiring, a series of information events are being offered this month as online webinars. If you fall into those categories, yours truly would recommend asking questions about how to protect yourself from snafus that will delay pension and retiree health coverage upon retiring. There is an option for continuation of pension benefits on an interim basis until the problems, whatever they are, are resolved.
