Can I receive credit for time worked at the University to retire from another state’s system?
Check with the your current employer to determine if they will allow you to receive credit to retire based on your time worked at the University and what information they require.
How will the Payroll Office verify my University employment?
The Payroll Office will confirm that you were employed based on any time periods during which you received a paycheck from the University. Payroll will also confirm whether any deductions were taken for the retirement plan. Allow three to four weeks for processing.
Is there a fee?
Yes, the Payroll Office assesses a $15 fee to research your records and provide verification of your employment. Make your check payable to “The University of Michigan.”

Send the following to the University of Michigan Payroll Office:

- The State of Michigan form to be completed. If you are applying for credit to retire from another state’s retirement system, include their form or a letter stating the information they are requesting.
