Michigan Community College Part-Time Student Workers

Changes that affect part-time students who worked at a Michigan community college were recently signed into law.

If you worked at a Michigan community college before July 1, 2014, while attending as a part-time student, you may be eligible to participate in a Michigan public school retirement plan. Or if this describes you and you’re already in a Michigan public school retirement plan, you may have an opportunity to add that community college employment to your retirement account.
