Financial Planning for Educators: A TAUP-Sponsored Session
One of the most important benefits provided by the TAUP contract–one we have worked hard to secure–is our retirement accounts. But we know that many members have questions and concerns about investing both during their work lives and after their retirement. So we invite you to attend a session led by Bruce Rader, Chartered Financial Analyst and former Vice President of TAUP; for 21 years at Temple, he taught courses in such subject as investments, portfolio management, valuation and derivatives. During that time, he also appeared in a variety of media interviews on local media commenting on a variety of economic and financial topics.
Please join us on Monday, April 23, 2018 from 3 to 4 PM in Anderson 1221. RSVP is appreciated.
Unemployment Compensation Workshops Continue Through May 9th, 2018
Unemployment Compensation (UC) is a benefit that many of TAUP’s members are eligible for and should utilize. The summer is particularly difficult for those who receive no income from Temple, and who are not assured of work in the fall.
ELIGIBILITY
If you work full-time on an annual contract and expect to be back in the next term, you likely do not qualify. if your appointment has ended and you don’t have a strong guarantee of work in the summer or fall, you may be eligible.
Even if you work part-time over breaks, you may be able to collect partial benefits according to the PA Department of Labor and Industry’s Office of UC if:
(1) your regular hours of work are reduced
(2) you are separated from your job and have obtained part-time employment with fewer hours of work, or
(3) you are separated from one job but continue to have part-time employment with another employer(s).
