Retiring From Emory University

To retire from Emory University, an employee must meet the following conditions:

• Must be at least age 55 years of age; and
• Must have at least 10 years of eligible service of at least 20 hours or more; and
• The sum of the employee’s age and service must equal 75 years or more.
• No breaks of service longer than 12 months or 24 months if due to reduction in force
• The employee must be in a regular paid status

The retirement date can be any day of the month as mutually agreed upon by the employee and his/her department.

Employees are encouraged to contact the Benefits Department at least three months in advance of a pending retirement so a Benefits Specialist can request the employee’s file, gather proper paperwork and be prepared to answer any questions the employee may have.
