Retiree Benefits and Planning

We are here to ease the stress of retirement planning for you. We recommend beginning to plan three months in advance of your retirement. It is important to determine your eligibility first and then notify SVSU of your retirement. In order to assist you, we have created Retirement Planning Steps that will outline the process of retirement, as well as aid in decision making of your medical, dental, and/or vision coverage upon retirement.  Please visit MySVSU for more information.

Medicare

​When you retire, Medicare A & B will become your primary coverage. 

Part A Employees who are actively working when they reach age 65 should sign up for Part A (no cost to the member). 

Part B You do not need to enroll in Part B (monthly cost to the member) until you are ready to retire.

  • Enroll three months in advance of your retirement effective date. 

If you are not age 65 when you retire, you will need to sign up for coverage three months in advance of turning age 65 to avoid any penalties.
