As a member of UCRP, you may be eligible for disability, survivor benefits, and death benefits. You may be eligible for retiree health and insurance benefits.
Disability benefits
Disability income is available to UCRP active members who satisfy certain minimum requirements and who submit a timely application. The service requirements, definitions, and reevaluation standards vary depending on the UCRP membership date. The length of the disability income period varies depending on the UCRP disability date.
Survivor benefits
When you die, part of your retirement benefit is paid to your surviving spouse or surviving eligible domestic partner (if you were married or in a partnership continuously from one full year before retirement until your death), or if none, to your eligible children, or if none, to your eligible dependent parents.
Death benefits
When an active, inactive, disabled, or retired member dies, UCRP pays a basic death benefit of $7,500 to the member's beneficiary, in addition to any monthly UCRP income that may be payable to eligible survivors or to the contingent annuitant. Beneficiaries of active, disabled, or inactive members also receive the CAP payment, if any.
Retiree health and welfare benefits
When you retire or begin receiving UCRP disability income, you may be eligible to continue your UC-sponsored health and welfare coverage. See the Group Insurance Eligibility Factsheet for Retirees [PDF] for the eligibility requirements. You may also continue your AD&D and auto, homeowner/renter insurance by making arrangements directly with the insurance company.
Health and welfare benefits are not accrued or vested benefit entitlements. UC's contribution toward the monthly cost of the coverage is determined by UC. Currently, UC contributes toward the monthly cost of medical and dental coverage, but the contribution may change or stop altogether. The amount UC will contribute depends on the date you were hired and the amount of service credit you have earned.
