CSU Benefits Office

Materials developed by the Society of Senior Scholars cannot be viewed as firm recommendations. Nor are they in any way to substitute for the official advice and counsel available from the Office of Human Resource Services. All retiring faculty must contact HRS and arrange a formal appointment to discuss legal, financial and other items needing decisions. HRS is the only source of official information on benefits and other issues.

Checklist: Discussing Retirement With Your Chair

In the past, much variation across departments resulted in inequalities in the perquisites and facilities offered to retiring faculty. Many found out later that they could have added resources to their retirement that would have been valuable. To move toward a standard set of offerings, The Society has, with the encouragement of the Provost, developed a checklist to guide your retirement discussions with your chair or unit head. The checklist presents the array of what is available and assumes that the retiring member will be offered them all unless they decline, an “opt out” approach. At the end of the discussion between chair and retiring faculty member, both sign the checklist which becomes a record of what the retiree has been offered and what was accepted.
