ELIGIBILITY FOR RETIREE TIAA LIFE INSURANCE
 

ELIGIBILITY FOR RETIREE TIAA LIFE INSURANCE

Historically, faculty retirees have been eligible for the death benefit provision of the TIAA life insurance program if they were age 65 and had at least ten years of service.

The Faculty Benefits Committee believes this eligibility criteria is overly restrictive and punitive toward faculty younger than age 65 but with several years of service, i.e., age 63 and 25 years of service. We concur with their conclusion, and we support their proposal to establish eligibility to be "at least age 55 and five or more years of service if the sum of the age and service is 70 or greater." We recommend this become effective April 1, 1989.
