What Happens to the Benefits You Have Today

Before you retire, you’ll want to take note of what happens to the benefits you have today. Some of these benefits will end on your last day worked at Rockwell Automation. Others will end on the last day of the month in which you retire (which could be your last day worked if you retire at the end of a month). With many of your benefits, you have the option to continue coverage after you retire.
