CUNY Retirement Planning Seminars

In June, 2012 CUNY’s University Benefits Office will present two pre-retirement seminars, one at Queens College on June 8, 2012, and the other at Lehman College on June 18, 2012. Both sessions will run from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

The two sessions are designed for those over 55 with 10 or more years of service. Employees within these criteria were sent an invitation by e-mail on May 10, 2012 with registration information. Additional pre-retirement seminars for other employees will be scheduled before the end of 2012.

With the overall theme of “What To Think About” in advance of retirement, seminar speakers will include representatives of Social Security and Medicare, TIAA-CREF, Halliday Financial and the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan, as well as CUNY’s employee assistance program. A presentation by PSC Coordinator for Pension and Health Benefits Jared Herst will cover the Teachers Retirement System (TRS), Travia Leave and how to prepare a pre-retirement “checklist,” during breakout sessions from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm at both events.
