Some Association Members who are eligible and planning to apply for the Incentive Plan for Retirement may be tempted to forego their applications for sabbatical or administrative leave in 14/15 because those dates are past the planned early retirement date of June 30, 2014.  The Executive of the USFA strongly advises members to make such applications for the following reasons:

1)             We do not know if more than 80 members will apply for the Plan. If 80 or less apply, all will be accepted but one-year deferrals are possible.

2)             We do not know how many applications will be deferred for one-year by the Provost.

3)             If more than 80 apply, we do not know which members with the lower number of age plus years of service will be denied.
