Retirees

SIU appreciates our former faculty and staff.  Human Resources provides valuable information to SIU retirees. 

You can access information about your benefits online.  We can also connect you with important State Universities Retirement System (SURS) data. 

SURS Annuitant

Effective August 1, 2013, provisions of the “Return to Work” legislation, 40 ILCS 5/15-139.5, take effect and will impose financial obligations on Universities that employ State Universities Retirement System (SURS) annuitants that meet certain criteria.  In addition, SURS requires state Universities to identify and report all SURS annuitants who are re-employed and provide specific information about the length of employment and earnings received.

Please use the resources and documents below to assist with the process of rehiring SURS annuitants.
