Reemployment after retirement

Employees receiving an income from either the state retirement system or the optional retirement plan may return to work in a part-time (.74 FTE or less) or temporary status with the university or with another employer who participates in the State Retirement System. There is an earnings limit for State Retirement participants of $24,180 or half their salary (whichever is greater) for twelve months prior to retirement. There is no earnings limit for Optional Retirement Program participants. Earnings from any source may affect social security benefits for retirees from age 62 to their social security retirement age.
