Different limitations apply to a retiree returning to work for a URS participating employer while continuing to receive a monthly retirement benefit.

What is Reemployment?
Reemployment means the resumption of a fee-for-service relationship of any kind with a participating employer.

Reemployment Within 60 Days
Your retirement benefit will be canceled. You’ll return to active status and, if eligible, earn additional service credit.

After 60 Days And Within One Year
You’ll continue to receive your retirement benefit only if you meet these criteria:

• You don’t receive any employer-provided benefits, including, but not limited to, medical, dental, paid time off, annual leave, sick leave, and other insurance benefits, excluding workers’ compensation.

• Your salary is limited to the lesser of $18,000 or half of your final average salary during a calendar year. Your retirement benefit will be canceled if you exceed the earnings limit or receive benefits.

After One Year
If you meet the separation requirement, you choose to either keep receiving your retirement benefit or cancel your retirement benefit and earn additional service credit. If you choose the latter and are re-employed for at least two years, a separate benefit will be calculated based on your new service and salary at the time of your second retirement.

Your original retirement benefit and the new retirement benefit will be combined.

To meet the separation requirement, you must end employment with all participating employers (including part-time and contract arrangements) for 12 consecutive months.

Reemployment Procedures
If you plan to be reemployed by a URS employer, call URS at (801) 366-7770 or (800) 695-4877 before you begin new employment. You must file a Post-Retirement Reemployment Form with URS before you start work.
