Congratulations!
 The Archdiocese of Cincinnati is grateful
for your years of service.
Blessings for a lengthy and satisfying retirement. 

As you begin to plan for retirement below are considerations to keep in mind:

• There is no application form to be completed to retire from a location within the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.  It is not necessary to notify the Central Office at the Archdiocese of your upcoming retirement, however, the Benefits Office is available to answer questions when you are navigating through the process.  Lean more by downloading an FAQ informational flyer. 

• Be sure to touch base with your Parish/School/Agency business manager so they are aware of your intent to retire.  

• If your employment occurred prior to December 31, 2010 you might be vested in the frozen Lay Employees defined pension plan. Contact UMR, Administrator of the Lay Employees Pension Plan at 1.888.640.1700. Follow this link for additional details.  

• If you are an eligible participant in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati 401(k) plan contact the 5/3 Plan Participant Services, 866.258.4777, for information on rollover and/or withdrawal options.
   

• Effective December 31, 2016, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati terminated its Supplemental Retiree Health Insurance Plan and Retiree Dental Plan for Post-65 lay retirees.  Effective September 1, 2016, the Pre-65 Retiree Health Plan and Pre-65 Retiree Dental Plan were frozen and no longer accept any new participants.
