All eligible employees, including seasonal, can voluntarily participate in Brown University's retirement plan through TIAA and/or Fidelity. Brown University provides employer contributions to regular and fixed term employees (except employees who are eligible for the Pension Plan) whose benefit eligibility percentage is 51 or greater.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island and Doctor's Choice offer Brown University eligible retirees the opportunity to enroll in one of two retiree health programs. The health plans are fully paid for by the retiree (age 65 or above). Delta Dental of Rhode Island also offers retirees an affordable, easy to use dental insurance plan.

Brown University provides resources for faculty and staff considering retirement to help start the planning process.
