When a benefits-eligible employee or retirement-eligible employee makes an employment change within the Arizona University System and/or with other State agencies, it can affect the status of various employee benefits. Eligibility and administrative requirements are different for 1) state-sponsored plans, 2) Arizona Board of Regents sponsored plans, and 3) the mandatory retirement plans.
These resources provide a brief overview and general guidance, not comprehensive details for every situation. Detailed information on these plans is available on the Benefits webpage. After reviewing this material, if you have additional questions about the effect of your employment change on your benefits, contact the Benefits Administration Team.
Employees with previous university, Board of Regents or state of Arizona employment must notify Human Resources to ensure accurate transfer, reinstatement, or new benefit election offerings.
Note: Arizona University System (Arizona Board of Regents Office, Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and The University of Arizona) and State of Arizona policies are subject to change without notice.
