Remember: If you don’t make a choice within 90 days of eligibility, you will be automatically enrolled in the Pension Choice.

This is an important decision, so make sure you take advantage of the following resources to help you make the choice that’s right for you. At the same time, it pays to enroll as soon as you’ve decided. Here’s why:

  • If you wait 90 days to enroll or default into Pension Choice, you lose up to three months of UC contributions and UCRP service credit — delaying vesting and decreasing your benefits.
  • If you wait until the deadline to enroll in Savings Choice, you lose up to three months of contributions and Savings Choice service credit — reducing your retirement savings contributions for the year.

So, make your choice and start building your retirement benefits as soon as you can.

Attend the “UC Retirement Choice Program” webinar and learn:

  • The differences between the Pension Choice and Savings Choice options
  • Factors to consider when selecting an option
  • How to enroll and why you should enroll sooner rather than later

There are three session options based on your status:

  1. Faculty subject to PEPRA - Sign up
  2. Staff subject to PEPRA - Sign up
  3. Newly hired or rehires (faculty or staff) not subject to PEPRA - Sign up
