FT/PT STATUS CHANGE | LEARNING & EDUCATION

Full-time to Part-time Status Change Policy
A full-time staff member covered by the Tax-Deferred Retirement Plan (TDR) who changes status to a part-time staff position will no longer be covered by the TDR, but will instead become eligible for the Retirement Allowance Plan (RAP)*.

This change would take place as of the first of the month following your status change (please note that if you have less than 1 year of service when you change status, the effective date of your participation in the RAP will be the first of the month following your attainment of 1 year of service). You should keep in mind that being eligible for the RAP plan doesn't mean that you will automatically accrue benefits under that plan. Under the provisions of the RAP plan, you must work at least 1000 hours per year for 5 years before becoming vested in the plan, and you receive benefit credit only for those years in which you have worked at least 1000 hours.

If you have questions about this policy, please contact the Retirement Call Center at 1-877-PENN-RET (1-877-736-6738).

*Note: This policy does not apply to faculty members.
