Upon retirement, Stetson University retirees remain a vital part of Stetson University.
Retirement Eligibility
Official retirement is calculated using a points system based on age and years of service. To be eligible for official retirement status, an employee must be a minimum of 55 years of age and complete a minimum of five years of full-time continuous service with a total of 65 points. For example, an employee who is 55 years old and has ten years of service qualifies for official retirement with a total of 65 points. An employee aged 60 with five years of service also qualifies for official retirement with 65 points. Please contact us with any retirement questions.

While everyone’s situation is unique, it is common for employees reaching age 65 to assess their coverage as they are nearing eligibility for Medicare. Some elect to rely primarily on Medicare while others choose to maintain employer-sponsored coverage depending on their healthcare needs, provider preferences, and overall costs. Because these decisions can vary significantly based on personal circumstances, there isn’t a single approach that applies to everyone.
We recommend that our employees review their options carefully and speak with a Medicare advisor who can help compare plan designs, costs, and coverage gaps, while also considering health plan options available to our active employees.
