When Department HR Representatives are coordinating to rehire a retiree, the following process should be followed to review with the retiree any impact on eligible retiree health benefits.

Before confirming and agreeing to return to work, the Retiree is required to have an offer of employment with position, FTE, and appointment duration to complete the steps in the Returning Retiree Benefits Checker Tool<https://uc.jellyvisioncustom.com/rehired-retiree-benefit-eligibility> to fully understand how benefits will be impacted based on the appointment.  The retiree may also review the How will my benefits be affected<https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/retirees/understanding-your-retiree-benefits/returning-to-work-after-retirement/rehired-retiree-benefits-eligibility/#effects> and FAQs<https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/retirees/understanding-your-retiree-benefits/returning-to-work-after-retirement/rehired-retiree-benefits-eligibility/#faq-understanding> to learn more.  Department HR representatives can assist with reviewing the Returning Retiree Benefits Checker Tool<https://uc.jellyvisioncustom.com/rehired-retiree-benefit-eligibility>.

Once the return to work is confirmed, the retiree must complete the UCRP Reemployed Retiree Notification form (UBEN 1039)<https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/wp-content/uploads/tools-and-services/administrators/docs/ucrp-reemployed-retiree-notification-form-uben-1039.pdf> and email the form directly to rehireretiree at ucr.edu<mailto:rehireretiree at ucr.edu>.  Please do not send the form to the benefits at ucr.edu<mailto:benefits at ucr.edu> email address.
