Retirement Gift Program for Staff Employees

Effective June 1, retirement counseling services for staff were transitioned to UC's Retirement Administration Service Center (RASC). Part of the former counseling services provided by the Benefits Office included providing information on the Retirement Gift Program with a brochure from which retirees could select a gift. Due to the transition of services, the Retirement Gift Program information and folder will no longer be provided by the Benefits Office.

The updated Retirement Gift Program webpage reflects the new department responsibilities.
