OBTAINING YOUR YALE ID AND COMPLETING YOUR I-9 FORM

...

1. When you arrive at Yale, you must schedule an appointment with the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS). This is required. You can schedule your appointment by calling 203-432-2305.

   OISS also wants you to confirm your departure date with them before you leave New Haven. When you prepare to leave, please email sarah.henderson@yale.edu to confirm that you are leaving the United States.

2. Tax Withholding: If you are receiving any payments from the university ((i.e., taxable scholarship, fellowship, stipend, wages, etc.) you are required to complete certain tax forms in order to properly withhold and report income tax based on your U.S. tax status. Please contact the International Tax Department at internationaltax@yale.edu to request the link to the Foreign National Information System (FNIS), include in your email full name, email @ Yale and University Person Identifier (UPI), the UPI can be found on your Yale ID card.

3. If you will make a paid speaking appearance while on your Yale J-1 visa, you must have the institution at which you will be speaking write to Dean Gerken or Ashley Mello for permission for you to speak. The request should list the date(s) of the event(s) and the amount of the honoraria you will receive. If you are not being paid, no request for permission is necessary.

4. I think this is pertinent for all visitors not just international VERY IMPORTANT: Yale University Retirement Account Plan (403(b) Retirement Savings Plan) If you are working more than half time and are eligible for Yale Benefits you will automatically be enrolled in the Yale University Retirement Account Plan (YURAP). Yale will make a Core Contribution equal to 5% of your eligible salary (7.5% of eligible salary above the Social Security Wage Base). Under YURAP’s automatic enrollment feature, Yale will automatically reduce your monthly salary by 5% and deposit that amount as a pre-tax employee contribution to YURAP. The University will make a Matching Contribution of 5% of eligible salary to your YURAP account.

   If you do not wish to contribute to your YURAP account via the 5% salary reduction, you can change your contribution rate via the TIAA site at http://www.tiaa.org/yale . Contributions can be made on a pre-tax basis, after-tax basis through the Roth 403(b) option, or both. You can elect to contribute a flat dollar amount, a percentage of your salary up to 75%), or the IRS annual maximum amount.

   Changes made on the TIAA site by the 16th of the month will be reflected in that month’s paycheck. If you are enrolled in YURAP, you may change the amount you contribute to YURAP at any time.

   Your contributions as well as the University Core and Match contributions are automatically invested with TIAA in the Yale Target-Date Plus Service. The Yale Target-Date Plus Service selects a Target-Date Plus model portfolio that most closely corresponds to your estimated date of retirement. The Yale Target-Date Plus Service is intended to be a “qualified default investment alternative” as described in Section 404(c)(5) of ERISA. Alternately, you can choose to change your estimated retirement date, choose a different model portfolio or stop using the Target-Date Plus Service and invest your contributions in any of the Vanguard, TIAA or CREF investment fund options available on the TIAA website for YURAP.

   To view or change your contribution amount, update your beneficiary information, and view or change your investment options, log in or register at http://www.tiaa.org/yale . For assistance navigating the TIAA web site, please contact TIAA at 855-250-5424, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., or Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
