Separation from IU Employment

Upon separation of IU employment, employees are no longer eligible to actively participate in the benefit plans listed below. However, participants in these plans have certain rights and privileges.

To take advantage of any residual value the benefit plans may provide, you will need to:

  1. Read the booklet, Participant Rights and Responsibilities Upon Transfer or Termination.

    Note: If you are retiring from IU employment with Retiree Status, go directly to the Retiree section of this booklet.

  2. Familiarize yourself with the opportunities available to you after your participation ceases.

  3. Follow-up on required actions described in the booklet sections titled "Participant Responsibilities."

Customer contacts are listed in each plan description. You may also direct your questions to a campus Human Resources office.
