Pre-Retirement Program and Resources

Protecting your retirement savings and investments, having enough money to last a lifetime, and planning for your health care needs are all important considerations in preparing for your retirement from the university.

If you’re aged 55+ or within five years of retirement, you’ll no doubt have questions about how to make a smooth transition from full-time employment to post-work life. Be sure to take advantage of our pre-retirement programs, which offer insight into JHU retiree benefits, legal and financial planning, Medicare, Social Security, and other aspects of retirement.
