The UC Focus on Your Future website has been renamed and revamped to the new myUCretirement.com. UC Retirement System website is now easier to use and smartphone-friendly. Take a look around the site and see how easy it is for you to track your personal financial progress toward retirement.
2016 Retirement Review
Sign in to myUCretirement.com to see your updated Retirement Review. The Retirement Review features your retirement readiness score, which is the percent of your current salary that you are on track to receive from UC retirement system sources: UCRP and Retirement Savings Program. Also available is a modeling tool that allows you to explore the impact of different retirement scenarios.
The Retirement Review is only available to employees who are eligible for UC Retirement Plan (UCRP) benefits. Readiness scores could not be generated for Multi and 2013-A tier members, but those members can go online and create scores by entering their information into the modeling tool.
If you have questions about the Retirement Review, call the UC Retirement Savings Program Service Center at 866-682-7787 for assistance.
