OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT VICE CHANCELLOR - HUMAN RESOURCES October 26, 1998 KEY ADMINISTRATORS/KEY SUPPORT STAFF SUBJECT: Reappointment of Staff Retirees Reappointment of staff retirees to UC employment should be processed in accordance with UC reemployment criteria, and must comply with requirements as outlined in University of California Retirement Plan (UCRP) Regulations and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidelines. Reappointment procedures which adhere to these provisions have been established and are effective immediately for members who have elected retirement and who subsequently wish to return to UC service. Individuals who are UCRP annuitants may be reappointed to any staff position at an appointment level that does not include eligibility for participation in UCRP. Such an appointment cannot average more than 49 percent time over a 12 month period. A reappointment level of 50 percent or more for 12 months or more is classified as a career eligible position and thus necessitates that a member suspend receipt of monthly UCRP retirement income payments for the duration of the appointment. UCRP members may not concurrently be in status as an active member and as an annuitant of the plan. UCRP Regulation 5.15 Reinstatement provisions require a minimum 90 day separation from service or receipt of the first retirement income payment, whichever occurs first, before the effective date of rehire. This provision is designed to prevent in-service retirement plan distributions as required by IRS guidelines. Retired members who are reappointed to UC service must meet this eligibility requirement. Retiree reinstatement appointment and eligibility provisions are summarized as follows: I. Eligibility Conditions: -Retiree must be in receipt of first annuitant payment or have 90 days separation from service, whichever occurs first. II. Reappointment Conditions: -Casual appointments that are 50 percent or greater and longer than six months must be reviewed by Human Resources and approved as recruitment waivers. -Casual appointments that are less than 50 percent may be processed without review by Human Resources if the appointments do not exceed 12 months. Casual appointments at 50 percent or greater that are less than six months also may be processed without review by Human Resources. III. Subsequent Reappointments -All appointment extensions or subsequent reappointments must be reviewed and approved by Human Resources before the transaction can be entered into the Payroll Personnel System (PPS). -Subsequent reappointment at 50 percent or more for longer than six months must be reviewed and approved by the respective Vice Chancellor or designee before submitting to Human Resources. Questions regarding these reappointment procedures may be referred to Pat Wong, Manager of Employment and Staffing Services at extension 42820 or e-mail pwong@ucsd.edu.
