Guides

Human Resources has developed two guides to help you transition from Wright State University. The Leaving the University Guide provides important information about pay and benefits, insurance enrollment and continuation options, retirement participation, and an exit checklist. The Wright Path to Retirement Guide is a resource to help you connect with the many new opportunities you face as a retiree and reviews your continued relationship with Wright State University.

Medical, Dental, Vision, and Prescription Benefits

Medical, dental, vision, and prescription coverage through Wright State terminates on the last day of the month in which your employment ends. These coverages may be continued in accordance with COBRA, which in general allows for coverage continuation for 18 months beyond the termination date at the expense of the faculty or staff member.

UMR, WSU’s COBRA administrator will send enrollment information to you and/or your eligible dependents within 14 days after your separation date. You and/or your dependents have 60 days after your retirement date or the date COBRA enrollment form was sent, whichever is later, to elect COBRA coverage and return the enrollment form to UMR. For information, contact UMR at 800-207-1824.
 

Exit Questionnaire

Wright State University believes that your employment with the university is valuable and would like to learn more about your time here as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance others’ experiences going forward.

We ask that you complete a questionnaire. The information you provide will be kept in a confidential file and used in generalized, non-identifiable ways.

Access the questionnaire through Qualtrics.
 

Flexible Spending Account

Your participation in an FSA will terminate on the date your employment with the university ends. You may submit reimbursement requests for expenses that were incurred from January 1 of the current plan year to the separation date. You have 90 days from your separation date to submit claims.
