Frequently Asked Questions

When Can I Return

Yes. However, to comply with federal tax laws, the retiree’s retirement must have been bona fide—for example, not undertaken with the intent of commencing pension or 401(k) plan benefits and then returning to work. Accordingly, an employee cannot, prior to retirement, arrange with a manager to retire and then be rehired for the purpose of accessing FedEx pension and 401(k) plan benefits during the planned temporary period of retirement.

To avoid potential issues with the processing of pension and 401(k) plan benefits, a retiree should not be rehired sooner than ninety (90) days following their date of retirement.

Pension Plan Benefits

No. The FedEx Pension Plans are closed to employees hired or rehired on or after January 1, 2020.

Your monthly payments will continue if you are rehired.

You will need to wait to be rehired until your first payment has been made to ensure the payment process has fully completed.

No. Your pension benefits can only start after you are no longer employed by any FedEx company.

Contact the FedEx Retirement Service Center at 1.855.604.6221 Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m., Central time.

401(K) Plan Benefits

As a rehired retiree, if you have an account balance in the plan, you may be eligible for in-service withdrawals and/or qualify for loans as an active employee. Otherwise, you must wait until retiring again from FedEx before you can access your balance.

Yes. You will automatically be enrolled in the FedEx Corporation Retirement Savings Plan II when you are rehired. You may choose at any time to discontinue the contribution by contacting Vanguard or visiting vanguard.com/retirementplans.

Contact Vanguard Participant Services at 1.800.523.1188 Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. – 8 p.m., Central time.

Retiree Health Benefits

Retirees covered by FedEx health benefits will not have access to their FedEx retiree health benefits or active employee health benefits for the period in which they return to work in a casual employment status. Enrollment in the FedEx Pre-65 Retiree Health Plan and the Retiree Health Premium Account (RHPA) will be suspended until the retiree is no longer employed by any FedEx operating company. An eligible spouse who is enrolled in pre-65 Retiree health coverage may remain covered by the retiree health plan. The spouse will not be eligible as a dependent for active employee health benefits during the period in which the retiree returns as a casual employee. The spouse’s Retiree Health Premium Account will also be suspended.

Retirees Without FedEx Retiree Health Benefits. Only individuals who retired after twenty (20) or more years of permanent continuous service may participate in any FedEx retiree health benefits program. If an individual retired with less than twenty (20) years of permanent continuous service there are no FedEx retiree health benefits available to them or their spouse and no retiree health benefits programs to be suspended when the retiree returns to work as a casual, part- or full-time employee.
Retirees With FedEx Retiree Health Benefits. If an individual retired at age 55 or older, with twenty (20) or more years of permanent continuous service, and the retiree participates in any FedEx retiree health benefit program (including Cigna, HMSA, or Kaiser medical benefits and Cigna dental and vision benefits) under the FedEx Corporation Group Health Plan, or the Retiree Health Premium Account (the RHPA provided under the FedEx Corporation Retiree Health Reimbursement Arrangement), those benefits must be suspended if the retiree returns to employment at FedEx in any capacity (e.g. casual, temporary part-time, part-time or full-time).
- If the retiree or the retiree’s spouse has retiree health coverage (medical, dental and/or vision) through the FedEx Corporation Retiree Group Health Plan, it must be suspended immediately when the retiree returns to work. The pre-age 65 employee or eligible spouse may re-enroll again following termination from all FedEx companies.
- If the retiree or the retiree’s spouse has credits under the Retiree Health Premium Account (the RHPA provided under the FedEx Corporation Retiree Health Reimbursement Arrangement), access to the credits must be suspended immediately when the retiree returns to work. Any expense incurred during the RHPA suspension period will not be eligible for reimbursement even when the RHPA is no longer suspended after the employee again retires from FedEx, and even if such expenses are otherwise considered eligible expenses.

Contact the FedEx Retirement Service Center at 1.855.604.6221 Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m., Central time.
