É«»¨Ìà Faculty/Librarian/Staff Retiree Benefits 

É«»¨ÌÃ's Office of Human Resources recently announced more extensive Faculty and Staff Retiree Benefits that in many ways mimic those benefits previously granted to many categories of retired faculty and É«»¨ÌÃRFA members.  To see those benefits now granted to all University faculty and staff who retired from employment with the State of Maryland, see the university’s Retiree web page.  This page has much useful information.  Scroll down a little until the section heading of RETIREE PERKS, DISCOUNTS, AND BENEFITS.  Here you will find links to these benefits.

The É«»¨ÌÃRFA Benefits and Privileges Committee suggests that É«»¨ÌÃRFA members explore this page in depth, clicking on the areas of interest and concern and digging down for details.  At this time, the committee itself is exploring the details of these perks and what they mean for É«»¨ÌÃRFA members. We will post the specific details as they become available.
