Retirees

Overview

Syracuse University is a progressive employer, focused on making improvements to work life by providing its faculty and staff with a benefits program responsive both to the diversity of its community and to the many life changes individuals experience during their tenure.

Many of those benefits continue into retirement, provided you are at least 55 years of age and have been employed by the University for a minimum of one year. Some educational benefits require a minimum of seven years of service prior to retirement.

While your years as an active employee at SU are complete, your connection to SU remains. Your contributions to the University during your career helped shape the SU of today. In return, SU continues to provide certain benefits to you in your retirement years. We encourage you to take advantage of these programs and services. You've earned them.

In keeping with SU's policy of non-discrimination, all benefits programs for which spouses of retired faculty and staff are eligible are extended to same-sex domestic partners. An Affirmation of Domestic Partnership, available from the Office of Human Resources, must be completed and submitted along with documentation of cohabitation, financial interdependence, and tax-dependency status (if applicable).

This summary is intended to provide a brief overview of the variety of benefits and services available to eligible retired faculty and staff.
