Eligibility

CRP-Eligible Positions

CRP participation is a condition of employment for all eligible employees and the University will automatically enroll you in CRP once you satisfy the eligibility requirements.

You are eligible to participate in CRP as of the first day of your appointment with the University if you are classified as a “benefits-eligible” employee and you are:

A member of the faculty or an academic employee appointed to full-time service,

An officer of the University appointed to full-time service, or

A Librarian appointed to full-time service.

You are eligible to participate in CRP after you complete a Year of Service if you are classified as a “benefits-eligible” employee and you are:

A member of the faculty, an academic employee, an officer, or a Librarian appointed to half-time service (or more) but less than full-time service, or

A Laboratory School Teacher appointed to full-time service.

However, if immediately prior to your appointment to one of the positions described above you are actively participating in the University’s Retirement Income Plan for Employees (“ERIP”), you are eligible to participate in CRP after completing a Year of Employment following your appointment.

See Years of Service; Breaks in Service; Year of Employment for more information regarding the crediting of service.

You are eligible to participate in CRP as of the day you are designated as eligible to participate in CRP if you are:

A staff employee who is compensated at or above an annual salary level as specified by the University from time to time, or

Appointed to full-time service in such other positions as designated by specific action of the Board of Trustees.

If you are eligible to participate in CRP because you are compensated at or above an annual salary level specified by the University for any one year, you will continue to participate in CRP regardless of whether you are compensated at or above the annual salary level specified by the University for any subsequent year.

Prior to July 1, 2005, the eligibility requirements for CRP participation were different. If you have any questions regarding the prior eligibility requirements, contact the Benefits Office.
