Retirement Planning

As you approach and begin retirement, the USC Emeriti Center and the Office of Benefits Administration are here to help. We have a wealth of information and ideas to share. Although this information is not a substitute for, nor does USC offer, legal, tax, or financial advice, we hope you will find it helpful, and invite you to contact us with any further questions. Our last Transitions 2012 Retirement Planning Sessions hosted by the Office of Benefits and the USC Emeriti Center were held Wednesday, April 25 (HSC) and Friday April 27 (UPC). These sessions will be hosted again on both campuses in July. Please call Ms. Gloria M. Reyes, USC Emeriti Center, at 213-740-8175 for information.

Refocusing- the Future of Work, Purpose and Fulfillment is a five-part workshop series for current and retired USC Faculty and Staff for successful life transitions. It is offered 5 consecutive weeks starting May 10.
