Changes to Retirement Savings Program and Health & Welfare benefits rules for COVID-19 relief

Dear Colleagues,

New options concerning your UC benefits are now available, designed to provide relief during the COVID-19 pandemic to give you much greater flexibility in withdrawing or borrowing money from your Retirement Savings Program plans and in making changes to your benefits:

• Important changes to UC benefits programs for relief during the pandemic

• UC Regents approve loans and withdrawals from UC Retirement Savings Program plans for those impacted by COVID-19

Please take the time to review these new options to ensure you are getting the most out of your UC benefits. 

Thanks,
Eugene,

Eugene Whitlock, Chief People & Culture Officer
