Coverage continues at your maximum coverage basic level plus your optional life level until you are 60. The maximum coverage if you are retired and age 60 is $25,000. Premiums are deducted from your retirement check. Will I qualify for Tuition Waivers after I retire? Yes, retirees from the University of Illinois are eligible for tuition waivers. Please visit the Tuition Waiver page for more information. Will my son or daughter be eligible for Tuition Waivers after I retire? No, children of SURS annuitants (retirees) are not eligible for tuition waivers for children of University employees. For a child to be eligible for the tuition waiver, the parent must be in active employment status of the University of Illinois on the first day of the academic term. Changes in status after the first day of class will only affect future academic terms. For more information, see the Tuition Waivers section in NESSIE.
