Access Category A refers to benefit-eligible faculty and staff members who, before January 1, 2018, are at least age 60 and have at least 20 years of service with the university.
The recommended changes approved by the University of Missouri Board of Curators do not impact employees in Access Category A. Employees in Access Category A will:
- Remain eligible for retiree insurance coverage, as they are now.
- Receive the same percentage subsidy for premiums as current retirees, as well as the subsidy for spouses and other dependents.

Footnote:
"Years of service" includes the number of creditable years worked for the UM System; for the purposes of eligibility, partial years are not counted (e.g., 19.9 years of service = 19). If you are unsure of your service credit, the best way to obtain an estimate is by completing the UM Retirement Calculator. Log in to myHR. Find the Retirement Calculator under the myTotal Rewards menu option on the left-hand side of your screen. Get step-by-step help at umurl.us/retcalc.
