Tax sheltering

Individuals receiving a leave payment for annual, compensatory, and possibly sick leave (if a classified employee with the old sick leave plan), can shelter the leave payment or a portion of it to help with the taxation. Academic year faculty who receive a lump sum payment are able to potentially tax shelter some of that payment.

Health Benefits

  • Medicare information
  • Medicare costs
  • Non-medicare eligible retirees  

Health Insurance Credit


Individuals retiring with at least 15 years of service credit may be eligible for the health insurance credit. This is a tax-free benefit that assists with health insurance premiums paid for single coverage, excluding any portion of the premiums covering a spouse or dependents.  The health insurance credit is $4 per month for every year of service. For example, at 20 years of service, $80 per month will be received in health insurance credit.
