Retirement Overview

Plan For The Future

Planning for retirement today will help you meet your retirement goals for tomorrow. When you retire, you will make some important decisions about your financial and health benefits, so it pays to be prepared ahead of time.

Retirement Savings Plans

Stanford's financial retirement programs enable you to start saving for your retirement after your first paycheck. After one year of service, you're eligible to receive contributions to your retirement savings from Stanford. Regardless of which plan you choose, you are fully vested in the contributions you make and those you receive from Stanford.

This Web site provides a summary of eligibility, coverage, vesting, retirement dates, payment options and other subjects. However, the official Plan Document, together with certain annuity contracts and custodial agreements with investment providers (all as amended from time to time) govern the Plan's actual operation, and the determination and payment of benefits. In the event of any conflict between the information in this retirement section of the Stanford Benefits Web site and the official Plan Document or any of the annuity contracts or custodial agreements, the Plan Document, annuity contract, or custodial agreement will govern.
